I have replaced my Rotel RC1572 pre amp with an Emotiva PT1. I was very happy with the Rotel because it did everything I wanted it to do with regards to connectivity. You can count on one hand how many pres on the market can handle a MM and MC phone stage, have an inbuilt DAC, subwoofer output (2 in fact) tone controls and a remote control to boot. My only real gripe was the silver colour which stuck out like sore thumb in my rack as the other components are all black. So I have bought an Emotiva PT1 which is in black to match the rest but that qon't be here until tomorrow. It has some great reviews and customer feedback too so am optimistic it's going to sound good too in my system.
Said goodbye to the ADA power amp too. Bought a Synn PO8 power amp as a blind punt (you know exactly what I am saying Jerry LOL) and was so pleasantly surprised just how good it is sounded once I had plumbed it in. This was a real ball ache as the binding posts won't accept banana plugs or spades, just thin bare wire, which doesn't do much good for the SQ. I hade to make some short tails of thin wire and attached these to the banana plugs on my speaker cables as a temporary bodge until the new replacement binding posts arrive. It still sounded very good with this lash up so should sound even better still with the new binding posts.

I had an Emotiva preamp.
Very pleased with the sq. Surprisingly transparent.
Sadly it expired after a while, I hope you have better luck!

I really am liking the sound of the Emotiva pre Jerry, It has a stunning amount of bass and detail retrieval is excellent. It didn't come with a remote control but I have a universal I can use, if only it had it's code listed  |

Hunt them down and message them with make and model. Their remotes are normally <£20 |

It may well work on yours. PM me your address and I'll pop it in the post. |

Their remotes are normally <£20 I have already bought a universal remote with a huge double sided sheet of remote codes for components I have never ever heard of. There are more than a thousand products on this sheet, but unfortunately no mention at all of emotiva 
Have taken up Jerry's kind offer of his old remote so hopefully that will work on mine.
Thank you for your thought.
