Greetings all,

I currently have a New GFA-575 in rotation for audition with a PS Audio BHK Signature Preamp, PS Audio PerfectWave Dac. - Bridge 2 Network card playing through Focal Sopra No. 2 speakers in a listening area of 15' X 20'. After several hours of break in time letting things settle in here are my thoughts.

If you are looking for a quality amplifier with massive amount of power and current Than this might be the amp for you. Weighing in at 81 lbs and a whopping 350 Watts at 8 ohms 450 at 4 ohms and 900 watts 8 ohms, bridged then this will be an extremely hard amp to beat!

I would like to start with my background as an audiophile and share some of the listening experiences with you as I have owned and Auditioned many High-End Class A, AB, D, & Tube Amplifier Companies such as Mark Levinson, Dan D'Agostino, Pass Labs, Krell, Classe, Audio Research, Cary, Gryphon, Luxman, Plinius, Block Audio, PS, Audio, BHK, Hegel, McIntosh, Krell, Bryston, Octave, Parasound, Emotiva, NAD, Adcom and much more!

My thoughts:

After break in, this amp delivered a large sound stage with transparency, notable highs and mid range. The amp had very good detail in the background as well as a punchy tight bass that could also drop down very low. In all I would highly recommend this amp over all for its price to performance ratio again will be extremely hard to beat a 2X the retail value.

Hope this has been helpful.


Got to give praise to Adcom for hanging in there and stepping back in to the HiFi Ring. I’m impressed that so many people still have the older amps and that they are still alive and kicking. The new 2019 amps have stepped to the plate adding beefier, higher quality internals, at this price point I must that it is an amazing buy for the money :)
I have played with this amp adding different component cocktails and I must say it is one hell of a deal for the money! Get the right speakers in front of this amp and lookout! The Adocm GFA-575SE has a Hegel H30 sound flavor.
I will be adding a Shunyata Denali 6000T into the equation with the Adcom 575SE, PS BHK Signature Preamp, PS Audio DirectStream Dack playing through Focal 2's. and give you my thoughts soon.
