ADCOM was started in the 70s when it's very first offering wasn’t amplifiers but phono cartridges. They were no ordinary cartridges; however, they were extraordinarily musical “moving coil” designs that extracted a lot of information from a record groove. These products were so successful that other companies asked us to begin making cartridges for them, too! And so, we became a manufacturer!
Early Electronics… ADCOM’s first electronic product, the groundbreaking GFA-1 power amplifier, appeared in December 1979. It was substantially more powerful than most of its competition at 200 watts per channel and was one of the first “high current” designs available. . Again, it was an affordable and standout performer. Critical response was phenomenal and the GFA-1 became the “hot ticket” amplifier of its day, as did the successor GFA-1A. Moving forward with Nelson Pass designs only heightened the profile of this HQ brand and as they say, the rest is history.
So... if you walked into a Tweeter Etc. back in the late 80s-early 90's with $1500 to spend chances are you left with these two components to drive the KEF or a/d/s/ speakers they included in your new rig. The 100 watts per/channel of the ADCOM GFA-545 was more than enough to drive most any speaker in the shop to unholy levels. Remarkably smooth with plenty of grunt when the particular jam called for it. Truly a fabulous amp and this one's in excellent condition having been gone though extensively by our in-house tech. The matching GTP-500 II Tuner/Preamp has all the features & inputs you could ever ask for including a terrific phono stage. It also has a headphone input on its face for those late night sessions. All-in-all another terrific piece of kit that's been gone through and tested at length. This electronics stack is ready to play beautifully for the next 25yrs. It's literally "can't miss." Comes complete with the highly elusive GTP-500 II REMOTE, FM antenna & even ADCOM RCA Connects! Just a superstar pair ready to take you system soaring to new levels of satisfaction. Keeping this couple together so, know that going in...
