new at this...which amp?
Yes, Adcom is good suff - just good. Like Tgrisham says, it is exacerbating the brightness in his system. The H2O is in a class of it's own. My last solid state were Pass Labs X600 monos. It was no match for the H2O. The Adcom isn't on the same pa...

Sell the Adcom amp, and buy an S-H2O Signature for $2800. If you want to know why, read the review at 6Moons. Replace your Radio Shack interconnects with used anything at Audiogon.

Best Vintage Speakers?
Took the words right out of my mouth, Dschultz, and boy, do I and Baranyi have the right amps. Can I have an amen! Bob? 
Best Vintage Speakers?
All Apogees. 
New H20 Signature S250
Lloyd, You found the one seemingly ambiguous line in the whole review. The writing went like this, "Tubes create a certain texture which these amps don't. Tubes can be very transparent but to my ears, it's a transparency modified in different freq... 
H2O 250 vs Mono's vs Spectron Musician III HELP
George, the TacT I am familiar with has to correct for an obstacle course. That may explain our different experiences. 
H2O Owner Survey ?
Yeah, I wish. B&O has, so far, only offered the 1000ASP, with the built in digital power supply. Jjaz, among others, is produced around this module. 
H2O Owner Survey ?
You are right. The ICE module can be removed from the amp, and replaced by any handy person. I don't believe there is any fix for the module itself. As you mentioned, the rest of the amp is old stuff to any repairperson. I guess I am being redunda... 
H2O Owner Survey ?
Eldartford, what is your point? Are you saying, all ICE amps sound the same? I know for a fact, that isn't so, having heard three, and owned two. Strajan, of 6Moons, compared the H2O directly to the ICe powered JJaz, and concluded the H2O clearly ... 
New H20 Signature S250
Yes it can, Bob. 
Subtlety ? do any American amps do it?
Well, I am staying here, in the States. H Ho's H2O amps, made in Virginia, are my last. That, from a former Pass owner. 
What did you think of the HE2005 Show?
I heard the Analysis set up too. I heard them on Thursday, and Friday. The difference between the two days was great. Henry, builder of the H2O amps powering the Greek Omicrons, changed a lot of things overnight. This all makes me believe the Anal... 
Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ?
If it were true Apogees are expensine, difficult to drive, and require heat-producing amps...etc. I could see your point. ;-) 
Which SS amps sound like a tube amp?
I don't know if The H2O amp qualifies as solid state, but anyway, if you want to know what amp people are selling their tube amps for, read this:http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/h2o/m250.html
