Looking to upgrade Adcom GFA555: Parasound?
This is my third system. Honestly, usually used for semi-active or background music.
Speakers are vintage Wilson Watt/Puppy 7. Source is an Eversolo dac/streamer Into a vintage Classe DR5 preamp. Amp currently is the aforementioned Adcom: bought it new while in college 40 years ago! The sound is pretty good, though a bit “small” and closed in.
Considering replacing the amp with a Parasound A21+. Thoughts? Am I wasting my time?
Target cost to upgrade this rig: less than $5K.
Thanks!
I second or third the idea of keeping the Adcom. I recently reached out to Chris Hoppe to refurb my 565’s and he put me in touch with Jon Morris. Jon did a great job overhauling my mono blocks using Chris’s new designed cards and all of the best components. altonbtc@gmail.com Is Jon’s email address. Much cheaper than the alternatives. And should sound as good or better. |
