Thoughts on the Vintage Adcom GFA1A 200WPC


I always used medium powered amps from mainly small British companies(Arcam,NAD,Creek).I recently purchased an Adcom GFA1A power amp for $140.This is my first power amp over 100wpc(200wpc).I replaced the caps and added binding post's.What kind of sound character improvements should I hear over my trusty 50wpc Arcam Alpha8p power amp?Also,does this amp run class A,reason me asking is it has full time fan regulation.

I can't remember too much about this amp other than it was very small and marketed as competition for the "Carver cube". If my memory serves me, i think that this amp actually clipped at about 280 wpc @ 8 ohms, making it a stout little performer, especially for its' size. It did run quite hot when throttling it from what i recall. That's about all i can dredge up from my ever-dwindling brain cells. No recollection of how it sounds, etc... Sean
