Greetings from upstate New York
Now retired, have the time to pursue a long standing wish to build my own speakers.
Now using Classe DR 4l preamp, GFA 555 amp, Vandersteen 2C , and a Bluesound Node 2i ( new arrival)
Ive never grown tired of this setup over the past 25 years!!
Hope to learn much from the group

Careful, Ron. We may entice you with all sorts of delicious ear - and eye - candy if you give us half a chance.

I've never heard an Adcom amp. Would you characterize it as being <somewhat> similar to a Hafler?

Welcome to AC!

Welcome Ron
The 555 is the best Adcom was designed by Nelsom Pass, I listened other Adcm model and sounded worse than my already untransparent Carver.

Ive always been satisfied with the Adcom 555 and suspected that an increase in quality would require an exponential increase in price, so Ive thought I found a relative sweet spot matching the Vandersteens. BTW, the Vandersteens still blow me away. Listen to a fine live jazz recording
from the fifties or sixties and you are literaly transported in time and space!!
