adcom vs parasound dilema

what did you think of the Parasound amp since you just sold one :

Between the two, I dont think that there would be a huge difference, but if I had to choose one, I would pick the Parasound.

was wondering about adcom due to their lower cost,are they inferior or a better deal.i liked the hca1000a ,just didnt need it anymore,,i saw an gfa545 for alot less and thought would make a good xmas gift if it is a good buy

I would choose neither. I would look for an Odyssey Audio or Muse 100 or maybe Bryston and get a smoother, cleaner, and tighter bass response with less etching or hardness on the top end than either the Adcom or Parasound. If you have a friend that has any of their products check them out. I'm sure you will like them.
