Need sound pro advice for Adcom gold series system

Vik,Sd,Arago,Sean............I appreciate all of your advice and you have given me allot to think about. I guess I need to go listen to some Vandersteen and Magnepan speakers. The specialty power cord suggestion I will look into also. Thanks again and I'm certain I'll need more questions answered. Bill

Not having worked with all of the various components at one time, the only thing that i would add is that you really should check into "specialty" power cords. I know that the GCD-750 responds very well to this type of "tweak". Quite honestly, i was not overtly impressed with it and then i swapped a cord and it REALLY changed the sound for the better. Much blacker background with increased soundstage and air. Quite honestly, i was pretty blown away by the difference that it made. Sean

I have the same set + Magnepan 1.6QR. Very musical and highly recommended. I tried it with Martin Logan Aerius', but preferred Maggies (by far).

I owned Adcom preamps, CD players, and amps for a number of years, and used it with several incarnations of Vandersteen speakers (2Ci, then 2Ce, and eventually 3A's). I found Adcom equipment to work very well with Vandersteen speakers.

I have also helped my son assemble his system, which currently consists of Vandy 3A's driven by an Adcom GTP-760 pre/pro, Adcom 5503 amp (for the left, center, and right speakers), and his old Adcom 545-II amp for the rear surrounds. His system sounds very good, and since we were able to get some excellent buys on used gear through Audiogon, it has a high price-to-performance ratio.

I used to have that system and the best I heard from it was with Magnepan speakers at a dealer's demo. I owned PSB Gold's at the time I purchased. I would highly reccomend Vandersteen speakers and think it would be a dream pairing
