| adcom equipment..... And I forgot to add one fact I found out about the Infinity Primus P362. It turns out the model is a 4 ohm speaker with an impedance curve that wanders under 8 ohms down to 4 ohms for much of the frequency range. But the placard on the back says 8... | |
| adcom equipment..... Here's just a footnote of sorts to my story.I take back my findings on the Infinity Primus 362 or the Adcom 565SE being on the forward side. I really can't say for sure what the Adcom is, its kind of disappeared as it were. Above I had mentione... | |
| DAC's Made in the USA No, that is incorrect, depending on which state we are talking about. | |
| DAC's Made in the USA Hello, Made in the USA really winnows it down as most audio manufacturers have long ago moved their facilities to Asia. Also, that Sony dvp looks like a flagship unit from the early 2000’s. It does have digital outputs, which would be essential.I’... | |
| McIntosh MX 119 Preamplifier vs Adcom GFP 750 That might be speaker dependant, but I've got silver solid core IC's from the freya to the amp, and Morrow silver plated copper on the cd player. With the tube section engaged, it gets really captivating. | |
| What Combinations of Components Have You Put Together That Sound Good? I just noticed I have a weird fixation on the number 565! It's strange that both my amp and my cd player have that same model number, maybe I should have looked for speakers with the same digits, LOL | |
| McIntosh MX 119 Preamplifier vs Adcom GFP 750 How long do the tubes themselves generally last ?Do they all degrade at the same rate and just replace all of them when its time.The other solid state I’m considering is the McIntsosh C47.thx for infoI think they would wear at the same rate, gener... | |
| McIntosh MX 119 Preamplifier vs Adcom GFP 750 The 750 is quite old now, devices eventually drift out of spec. I would avoid that.If you're looking to spend 800-900, there should be some pretty good options. I'd suggest a brand new option. If you know anything about crosstalk, SNR and other... | |
| What Combinations of Components Have You Put Together That Sound Good? The source is either a Nad c565BEE CD player or the Gungnir Multibit dac by Schiit.The KEFs could be a couple of weeks, :( | |
| What Combinations of Components Have You Put Together That Sound Good? I think my synergistic combo is really a fluke that makes real magic together. Adcom 565SE(a currently in production model), Schiit Audio Freya +, and a pair of Infinity Primus P362 towers.The cables are wireworld Oasis 7 speaker cables, mostly A... | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 I am doing more testing last night and swap the IC. I only have two pairs of ICs. One I always feel bright and harsh, has been used between the preamp and power amp. I swapped it last night and it makes a HUGE difference to both MC275 and Adcom. B... | |
| What to replace an Adcom amp with? Hey, for anybody looking to get a 3 channel amp after the fact, I’ll suggest something from Outlaw Audio. The Outlaw Model 2220 is a small form factor 200 wpc mono block. About 3 inches high and they can be stacked. Get 3 for under 1k and you’re s... | |
| Adcom gfa 555 or 5400 Vinnyjr,That amp you found looks like a solid choice, and I’ve heard that the Zpre is good bang for buck. As long as it has the bypass. Good luck with your search. | |
| Adcom gfa 555 or 5400 The choice of an amp should depend on a few important factors, but most commonly those are compromised in favor of price. My first big amp was price first and I regretted it as that dog of an Emotiva would add sibilance and bloated bass when neit... | |
| solid state power amps It is possible that another device on the same circuit as the amp is causing noise or hum on the amp. I had this with fluorescent lights and their ballasts. I changed to new ballasts and the amp became dead silent. Another source can be lightin... |
