New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition

Adcom is making a new version of the GFA-555 II, the GFA-555 se. This amplifier is essentially the GFA-555 II with slight improvements including balanced inputs larger capacitors resulting in a better soundstage and an even higher damping factor. Did you know that the GFA-555 is likely the best selling piece of hi-fi equipment ever made, with a build of over 100,000 units? The GFA-555se will be available sometime in November.

My various Chinese Adcom stuff always worked flawlessly and, especially for the money, sounded great. I still use a 5300 to drive some outdoor speakers and again, it's a great sounding, ballsy, very well designed high current amp. I think Jafant lives in a former universe where Chinese stuff was perhaps sub-par, but this attitude can’t be taken seriously anymore as any quality controlled Chinese made gear can be as world class as my iMac.
