Good audio quality
Nice unit, the remote is not as nice as my GTP-500II remote is, but since the 500II's power supply went belly up and I needed a pre-amp that worked to get back to functionality, I'm very happy with the GTP-500. Good sound quality and the FM unit works well--I'm in a remote area and it does a good job pulling stations in.Read full review

Solid performer
This is a very strong contender in the mid level audio world. I am not a big fan of combo tuner / pre-amp, but this unit fills the bill in both areas. Very good pre amplification stages that will satisfy most listeners. For the money you cannot go wrong with this unit.Read full review

Old School Works For Me!!
Although this preamp/tuner was made back in the late 80's or early 90's, it does everything I need in a tuner preamp. I've been a fan of Adcom for 10 or 15 years, ever since I bought one of their big 200 w/channel power amps for $50 at a yard sale. Wish I hadn't sold it, but I have 2 of the 545-II's now so that's keepin' it in the family so to speak. Very clean sounding music through my 4 Klipsch Heresy speakers out in my workshop. The fact that it has a phono inputis a plus now that turntables are now back in vogue.
I was totally satisfied with my previous Adcom preamp/ tuner, but when I saw that the 500 had two pre-amp outputs, that's what sold me on the unit. I don't have the remote control for it, but don't need it. The only qualm I have about the unit is that every time I turn it off, the output selector defaults to the top of the menu selector and I have to push the selector button to get it where i want it. A small price to pay for having the dual pre-amp outputs. I couldn't be happier with this unit!!Read full review

I bought a McIntosh power amp before I got this Adcom preamp. It works great. fr the price I have no complaints.

Great buy. I said that before but it sure is.
Excellent quality, great buy, works perfectly. At the risk of having you raise your prices, because at some time I may be looking for a power amp, I would say that the price was too low .

tuner stopped working
Very good preamp but the tuner section stopped working three days after receiving it. Keep in mind these are getting old.

Excellent preamp for the price.
I am using this preamp with two powered JBL speakers, The sound is some of the best I have heard. Clarity and sound stage are excellent. I could not have asked for a better preamp.

Adcom preamp
I have several Stereo systems and have wound up using the GTP 500 on all of them, they pair excellently with my Adcom GFA 555 amps

A little disappointed
Has a buzz at zero volume. Probably a bad capacitor somewhere. The same vintage Adcom 502 I replaced was silent. Now I'll pay to have this one repaired.
