Since getting into tubes my Adcom GFP-750 is collecting dust so it is up for sale. Someone here was interested but after cleaning out my messages I lost their PM. If you see this shoot me a PM, I will remember.

Camera is acting up so I will post pics later.

Very clean and can find no scratches or dents. I have the factory box, manual, shorting pins, power cable and remote with protective cover still on the remote. I was not sure if the shorting pins came with so I bought Cardas shorting pins waiting for the Adcom to arrive. I will include the cardas in the sale.

I am the second owner and it has the blue boards.

$650 plus shipping and PP fees if used.

If no interest here by mid-week off to ebay or audiogon.

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    Mine has the blue boards as well,can you tell me what is the big deal with the blue boards? I have been woundering about this for sometime now.

    Thanks, and good luck with the sale with your asking price I am sure it won't last long.

    Great pre here guys. Mine is in the box too since getting tubes. I'm not selling mine at this time though, because it's such a nice sounding unit. I'm not sure I can part with it yet. This is a killer SS piece!!!

    Blue boards are a bit of "myth" if you ask me. These were assembled in the USA vs. later pieces assembled in China or Taiwan.......or some such. Not sure there is a difference in sound or build, but the "blue board" seems to be more coveted.

    Good luck with the sale..........hope you don't regret it a little bit.

    And another one bites the dust...nice pre. I'd definitely be in if I were in the U.S. so chaulk up another missed sale for the boy.

    And good luck with the sale...a very nice unit as heiney9 says above.

    That's the only Adcom pre-amp I'd even think about owning aside from a vintage SLC-505. The fact that it's remote controlled is even better.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Anticipating a sell I thought I better move the Adcom and the Carver back in the rack, its been a few months since they have had power.

    I really miss the HT bypass and remote. Hopefully a Black Anthem Pre 2l is in my future.

    Then the Pre 1 will be up next.

    Just out of curiosity (and for a bump for nice Adcom products), what does the "reverse" function do?

    Thanks.

    Thank goodness this sold. I've been convincing myself I didn't need it ever since you put it up for sale. If I come home with any more of you hand-me-downs my wife will kill me.

    Someone needs to grab the amp, though. I can attest to the fact that it's in great shape.
