Comments on Adcom GFA-5802 amp ??


Seem to be a lot of these on sale for pretty decent prices in the used market. Anyone have one, your comments would be appreciated, thanks.

Mike - comparing it against a potential 4BST purchase? I looked at both when new and I preferred the Bryston - 2 reasons 1)better sonics and warranty, found the Adcom to run hotter & 2) because of the exchange rate here in Canada local products are more palatable dollar wise - they both list at the same price up here which makes the Bryston a no-brainer... IMHO. As far as buying used its probably 80% of the 4BST and if you can get it for 60% of the cost then maybe its a better buy for you...
Miked - the 5802 is a much nicer amp than the 5800 with a purported John Curl "touch". Ask in Audio Asylum where John hangs out at times.
