Well its to do some purchasing.  I just received an Adcom GFA-555 amp
for a wedding gift, it helps to have an usher who works for Adcom!
Now I'm ready to get a new pre-amp and tuner.  I'd like to keep
the total price of the two components <$1500.  I have a particular
interest in the controls of the pre-amp.  I am disabled and have
limited use of my hands.  Specifically, I can not adjust the source
knobs of many pre-amps.  Smoothly rotating knobs such as volume
controls are not a problem, only knobs which "lock" into position
cause problems.  Thus I'd like to find a pre-amp which uses push
buttons in order to select the source.  I would appreciate
recommendations from anyone familiar with push button style pre-amps.
I know Adcom makes several tuner/pre-amps which use push button
selectors and I may consider going that route if unable to find
separates.  I'll also be glad to take speaker recommendations (~$1500)
since that is next on the hit list.

Thanks to all who reply!
