Tube preamp integration

Has anyone use a tube pre with a Adcom GFA-545II and if so how does it sound? I am planning to get into tubes for the first time.

Both specification and price of those stuffs are almost same but I don't know which one is better and has a good combination with Isophon Cassiano that I currently have. Thanks,

I am looking for a preamp for under $800. I am just looking for a simple design pre. Recordho, thanks for the information. The Adcom amp is a great amp. The amp produce very articulate bass response with good treble response. Just want to see how a tube pre would sound in my system.

His preamp is a Counterpoint SA-3, table is VPI with air-bearing arm. His vinyl collection is immense and he listens often (but practices one of his eight French Horns more). The combination is very natural, with no fatigue.
