    It's a decent amp. It's a little bright but overall it's not bad.

      The GFA-1A is almost 30 years old. If you decide to purchase the amp, replacement of all the electrolytic caps should be at the top of your list, because they dry out with age and the values drift.

        Adcom 7707 - Question
        by Supernova
        Hi all.

        I'm loaning my Adcom 7707 to my father in law whom I built some Finalists for his birthday. Adcom has been great in helping me convert the amplifier from 120 to 240. One question I had was if anyone knew if it would harm the amp if I disconnected some of the channels? He's going...

        Adcom 555II with B&W 700 series
        by Trevor
        I was wondering if anyone has heard or has used an adcom amp with the 700 series? I am using an Adcom 555II to power my 604 s3 and it sounds good, but I know that the 700 series is more detailed than the 600 series. Do you think the 700 series will pick up more distortion than the 600 series?

        B&W 804s with Adcom amp.
        by bowlman
        I setup my Adcom GFA 555 amp too my B&W804s today,using my Denon avr 3803 as a preamp. The question is ,why is the volume level way lower than when it is played off the Denon 3803 front channels? the Denon is rated at 110 watts per channel.The adcom GFA 555 is rated at 200 watts per channel.

        So, what happened to Adcom?

        No retailers carry them anymore. Their product line has been limited and most of it has been out for extended period of time. I like the features of the Adcom GTP-880 preamp, but I'm afraid to make the purchase due to any reliability/quality issues that there...

        Adcom GFR700 Vs Rotel products
        by nikos
        Have you guys seen any info on this Adcom amp other than the advertised specs?? how does Adcom compare to Rotel?

        Are their amps "faster" than Rotel...I'm kinda remembering someone telling me that for Electronic Music their faster response would be a better match than Rotel......
