I've got a PS Audio GCC-250 on the way. Mistake??


I've purchased a used GCC-250 from the listings here. I researched professional reviews and found most of them favorable to a point I felt it justified pulling the trigger.

I've got some NHT Classic Three's and a Velodyne Optimum-8 sub I'll be using with it in an all analog system. The GCPH phono stage will be feeding the balanced inputs.

I've poked around on a few forums and there are some individuals that found the highs unacceptable in their rooms. I realize this has a lot to do with synergy - but it's got me somewhat concerned at this point.

Any thoughts or input from those familiar with the amp?

I guess this works both ways - equipment that was purchased under the recommendation of others that aren't synergistic with your system and others that are loved by some and hated by others (the GCC series of amps, it seems) that are synergistic with some systems.

I just hope it works as well in my system as the GCPH does... we'll see!

Thanks Eric - did you use it with your 803's? I figured that their had to be some synergy between the GCPH and GCC series that was worth exploring. Thanks again for your input.
I have a GCC-100 as part of my system.

The volume control is perhaps one of the most transparent ever designed. I have tested it in various configurations in contrast to other volume controls. It allows one to hear other system colorations so easily.

I then had the full Underwood mod done (including Nextgens, better binding posts, etc), and added Hi-fi tuning fuses.

When it came back from the Underwood mod, it was on another level of performance, and I was very impressed.

The Fuses were a small but easily audible upgrade as well.

I have since moved to tubes, then used the GCC as a bass amp, with the ability to tweek the bass volume via remote for each LP/CD, which is extremly nice.

I recently put them back as the main monitor amp, while doing some upgrades to my main amps, which are much more expensive. I was shocked just how good it sounded.

However I am changing my system soon,and the GCC-100 may have to find a new home. I highly recommend these integrated's especially once modified.
It will be here Wednesday - took the guy a week to ship it which was a little frustrating, but that's okay.

I'm very interested to hear it - I'll be trying it with a pair of NHT Classic Threes and some Usher X-718's, curious to see how it sounds. I'll report back once I've had it up and running for a while.
