Adcom gfp 750....why so many for sale?

Not a curse at all. The Stereophile blessing moves a lot of product for the manufacturer. That product eventually gets old or out of fashion and ends up on the secondary market. Crack your paper dude, there are a lot more Ford Taurus' or Honda Accords for sale than Ferraris.

"...it is a steal for midfiers with highender aspirations."
Nice back-hand compliment.

They are made by Chinese Elves!
They have evil spirits lurking inside, with bad vibes constantly emanating from them.
They are constantly breaking down.
They make other audiophiles smurk when they see it in your system.
They sound like chopped horsemanure.
They smell.
They look stupid.
They never work properly.
They are made by Chinese Elves with bad breath and who are flatulent.
That is why I use one.

Viridian: ...Or not. I'm proud to say none of my my gear is recommended. I even have several issues unread. I used to read it cover to cover and now it just gets in the way of the music. Advertisers will always hold sway over the readers despite what JA would have you believe. Richard Hardesty has some good thoughts on this.

Sorry to hijack the thread. The Adcom is still viable and will do fine for many of us. The pitfalls of passive operation are largely myths, ime. Setup is everything. Happy Ash Wednesday!

Tripper, shouldn't it be, "Sorry to hijack the thread twice."?
