Summary: stay away from this company worst customer service ever and their products dont last and once they fail like mine did, they dont give a crap also, mine even has a manufacture defect in it and I cant get it fixed even after spending $65 to send it from arizona to PA, 1300 miles away, spent half the money that mine cost and purchased Onkyo THX receiver and it runs circles around these adcom's, PLEASE, PLEASE save you money and frustration and dont buy from this company, too bad what they sell they dont back it up.

Summary: This thing just like all other Adcom products flat out sucks.B*stards got over $1100 bucks out of me and will never see another dime of my cash again.This should be high end sold in K-Mart.Wish I had my other system at the time.Adcom,you need to cue up your quality control and lower your prices.
Strengths: none
Weaknesses: bloated base

Summary: I have a friend who has the Adcom Preamp-Tuner and the 50W per channel adcom amp with a pair of B&W 602s and an 8" velodyne sub. It ain't heaven but it's certainly better than a receiver and pair of tin cans which seems to be what people are saying about Adcom's equipment. I plan on having my equipment for a long time and am more than happy with it. I would recommend Adcom to anyone who asked. I would rather have a Conrad Johnson tube amp or a nice Levinson or Krell amp etc. but don't have that type of cashola. If you don't have a million and want a system that sounds like a million, you would be wise to check out Adcom. They are not top shelf high end but then again most people I know would be more than happy with a Mercedes Benz even though it is a little less of a car than a Rolls Royce. If you can live with the Benz, get Adcom, if not get the Grand Slams and the nuclear power plant you'll need to drive them.
Strengths: Adcom equipment is simply the best bang for the buck.
Weaknesses: I can't believe that this pre amp is getting such a lousy write-up.
Similar Products Used: I have a pair of GFA-565s with the GFP-565 and a pair of Dahlquist DQ-20s. If that ain't heaven it's liable to be as close to that as I'm going to get in this world.

Summary: The Adcom GTP-555 is to music, what "etch-a-sketch" is to art. The "one" star is only because there is no "zero" possible.
