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.

Cut the new guy some slack! I believe Power_hungry is genuinely exited about the release of a new version of an old sort of classic. Adcom,for me while in high school and college, was a great bang for the buck. I had the GFA-535II and I even sprung for the $50 to change the faceplate to white!! I have since gone down the textbook audiophile money spiral and would now welcome a moderately priced great sounding power amp to experiment with. My 535II sounds OK driving a pair of JM Lab Alto Utopias at low volumes. It not the Mac 501's, but it is good for what it is.
Thanks for the info and heads up--i will be looking for the release of this new amp.
BTW: Adcom's website could use a little work!
