I just wondered whether anyone has had an opportunity to check one out. There is a brand new one for sale locally. I have read where others in the forum have owned Adcom amps.

    I am not familiar with that particular model so I can't give an honest opinion.

    I can tell you that I love my Adcom GFA-7500 (150wx5) amp.

    It is a well built,heavy,powerfull, great sounding amp.

    And was made in the U.S.A.:D

    Love my 7500 too, but wow, this seems like a whole 'nother beast! :eek:

    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it.

    Thanks H9... My link didn't quite start at the beginning.

    That was an interesting review, BTW. The whole thing with the cables causing a shutdown was a first-heard for me. I would have been baffled.
