If you want warm I agree with the Conrad Johnson amp suggestion. I can't think of anything that is nearly as warm as most of their gear. There are some "fixes" for warmth like cables and such but the cost is higher than you would want to spend.
Adcom 5503 not producing Bass
Hey,
Having trouble with Adcom GFA 5503 I purchased off eBay. The amp it not producing any low frequencies. The sound is brittle and very hot sounding. When I switch back to an Adcom GFA 5400 (that I also own), the sound is rich and full. I'm driving a pair of Klipsch RF-3 II speakers. Also, when I hook up the 5503, there is a light hum coming through the speakers. The hum is not present when I hook up the 5400. So, did I get ripped off buying from eBay? I'm thinking about taking the amp to a local repair shop to see if they can help me. Any ideas? What would be causing the amp to not produce any bass/low frequencies?
Thanks so much to anyone taking the time to read this and respond.
