Agreed. Tube preamp with tube phono section. System is very nice, with good balance of quality vinyl and digital sources. Wolcott is great with SoundLabs. A good used MFA Magus preamp or Counterpoint 5000 preamp would be good replacements for the Adcom at reasonable prices. They both have great tube phono sections.
