Came across the new Adcom GFA 555 SE amp, are they as good as 555 MKII ? Wonder if any one have buying experience and usage reviews for them in India, please share it across, would be a great help.
I have the adcom his 275. Great driving capability and very good detailing. and am planning to sell it.
Nopes. It's gia 275.. and am planning to let it go.Thanks on the update Ravikumar. Is that 555SE? you bought it from Sound Lounge New Delhi?
May I know which year it was made by sir? Are contemporary models made with same quality?The original GFA designs GFA are by Nelson Pass. I have the GFA 535mkii version which is very good.
Though I do not use it now in my main system, it is in my permanent collection as of now.
I have not though heard any of the later GFA versions.
In the mid 80s is when I think Nelson was on their designing board and improved on the Adcom GFA555...some say he totally rebuilt on the original design, His version was a huge commercial success. It put out 200 watt into 8 ohms load.May I know which year it was made by sir? Are contemporary models made with same quality?

Adcom later launched the version mkii which I read had triple darlington output instead of the original 2. I think this was espoused by Nelson himself.
It was a very powerfull amplifier and the one I have is its baby version at around 60 watt RMS per channel into 8 ohm load in dual mono configuration..
Another not well known fact is that Nelson also contributed to their car audio amplifier line at that time. I have one of that too, the GFA-4302.

Mr. Sriram Are you selling this by any chance ?I acquired ADCOM GFA 555 ii and the preamplifier GTP 550 ii.
The pre is used as a phono stage for my turntable. Both are a very good combo.
