585se was still the Nelson Pass era afaik. Taiwan is excellent manufacturing. That’s what I’d go with, but I’m biased, my amp and preamp are Pass designs.
Parasound A21+ vs Adcom GFA-585se
I want to change my amps from Wyred4sound SX-1000 mono blocks to a good class A/B amp. I was thinking of the A21+, but i looked at the 585se and the Adcom compares, on paper, to the Parasound JC5. Both have plenty of power to drive my speakers and cost the same. Anyone with experience with both?

Not sure why it's delimited to "Adcom or Parasound." With $4k as the top limit, there are some very good options out there. https://www.usaudiomart.com/search.php?show_other_marts=N&keywords=&search=Search&type=F... |
I've been very happy with a Parasound A21 driving Ohm speakers rated at 89 dB. The sound is effortless, lush and beautiful. I've had a number of other amps including digital and tube, but I keep coming back to SS. If money weren't an issue, I might have a Pass amp, but Parasound fulfills my needs and desires in this expensive hobby. |
