OP
I just got done reading about the new Adcom line of amps and from what I could see their design is a far cry from the minimalist approach of the original GFA"s. I have a modified 555 from yesteryear which I tried several months ago when I sent my reference amp in for a rebuild (20 year mark). Unfortunately, even after giving the old Adcom a few weeks to settle in, the music just was Blah. I boxed it back up and went to headphones and Spotify till may SMc amp returned.
I would be very curious to listen to the new line. I would imagine that many component improvements that have occurred over time are implemented in the new amps. I would be sure to get an extended audition at the local audio emporium or better yet in your system to be sure the Adcom is up to the performance of your other gear.
Good luck!
