Description
Brief Summary: If you are looking at this high-end audio device, then you probably are already aware of its very high specifications and sound quality. ADCOMs highest quality pre-amplifier originally built in the early 2000s and refurbished around 2019. A true CLASS A design preamplifier originally designed by Nelson Pass for Adcom incorporating many high-end audio parts. Features front-panel or remote operated motorized volume and source selection controls plus balanced XLR or RCA input/output options. The Volume and Balance pots are high quality custom 4-gang ALPs components. In excellent cosmetic condition, please refer to the many images provided of the actual item for sale (has one missing top cover screw over the heat-sink. Hole has thread damage). Super clean panel with gold switch plate, no damage to the toggle switches or parts. Cleaned and de-oxidized (DeoxIT®) input/output jacks. Excellent operating condition and you will be very pleased with the exceptional sound quality. From a fresh and clean, PET FREE / SMOKE FREE home. Offers true high-end Passive mode which bypasses all of the active gain stages of the built-in amplifier. In Passive mode, only the volume control and source selector are part of the signal path (*This is the the only mode I have ever used it in for the cleanest sound.). If you need additional amplification (i.e. inefficient speakers or low powered amplifier), the front panel Switchable Active mode can be turned on. Processor Loop. This preamp does NOT have a phono (turntable) input. Blue Board version with many upgrades emphasizing improvements to the power supplies and audio signal path (replaced all e-caps due to age) including: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Installed optional 2A Choke (Schurter) in L17; New Power Entry Relay (Panasonic); D32-D38 Zener 9V Diodes replaced with high quality 200C rated; Full-wave bridge rectifier diodes replaced, D19-D22; Main Power Supply and Audio Channel filter caps replaced with higher quality and higher temperature rated components; Audio path upgraded using many Nichicon UFG and UKA audio caps; Many brand new high quality Dale RN55 and RN60 resistors used; New R24 & R26 3.3 Ohm, 1-watt metal oxide power resistors; Many new transistors matched and replaced to insure long life. IMHO: This analog preamplifier is at least an order of magnitude better in sound quality than Adcoms GFP-555 II or GFP-565 preamps and is still a highly regarded Stereophile pick. If you never thought or knew how much a preamplifier effects the final sound, well, you are in for a treat. Easily the equivalent of models selling for $5K to $10K each. In addition to several standard stereo RCA inputs and outputs, this pre-amplifier features a single Differential-Balanced Input (XLR) and also a balanced Output (XLR) as well. Far superior to the very poor quality Adcom 815 and 915 series preamps which degrade the sound and have no passive mode. * INCLUDES one aftermarket infrared remote control (operates in a similar fashion to the original factory version and is very good quality), a copy of the printed manual, line cord plus one pair of XLR jumper shorting pins (*Per the manufacturer: When using the unbalanced CD inputs, jumpers must be installed to short pins 1 and 3 of the balanced inputs. Do not use the balanced and unbalanced CD inputs at the same time). Professional ground shipping for 48-lower states. I do NOT have the original box for this module, but it will be safely packaged and Double boxed for protection. No returns will be accepted for this vintage preamp. NO warranty.
