    I have one. I think it's a gtp400...,

    but I'm going out to get dinner now.

    I do know it needed de-oxing when I quit using it. No biggie there. But you do live on the other coast so maybe somebody closer might chime in.

    It is a GTP-400.

    While you learn about de-oxing a component, I'll try to get to this and de-oxit and retest it.
    Then I can price it, if it's worthy, which it should be.

    I've had a few Adcoms products from this era and they all needed de-oxing. I just started de-oxing in the last 6 months. I've known about it for years but just started doing it myself. Easy as pie. It just takes two days to allow it to thoroughly dry since I fried an old receiver the first time by only allowing a couple of hours. Man I liked that old Fisher.:frown:

    Thanks Mole. I have a dude in Riverside that has an Adcom gtp-500 for sale. He's asking $65 so Im gonna see if it checks out ok. Will go good with the 545. If not the B&K 10 is a great choice. Might be overkill for my garage set-up. Lol.

    Fingers crossed! Hope it works. I hear that some adcom preamps are prone to having tuner issues. I need to have a good working tuner otherwise its pointless. Gotta have my favorite station KCAL rocks!!!

    Thanks anyways. This thing sounds great. This is my first venture into Adcom separates, and I'm liking what I hear. Now if I could only snag a GFA- 5802 or 585 for cheap....
