Schiz, having auditioned amps/preamps from Adcom spanning the
past ten years, I've grown weary of them. To me, their contributing
sound is akin to a huge Sony boomboxes suffering from bulimia.
Their sound is clean and lean, but thin on dynamics.

Thanks, Eddie. Any experience with Arcam or Audio Refinement? I think
that I am steering towards an integrated now.



I just came accros this thread again, but I hope you weren't steering
away from Adcom because, among other things, of the experience
I had with them.

These were encounters I had happened under circumtances and
conditions that is without doubt will be different from yours. There's
also no doubt that I've audition only a tiny fraction of their products
wrt amps and preamps starting back in '95, and that I listen to them
in my system that differs from everyone here.

I think for my current needs, a separate pre/power combo might be overkill.
Since I am planning to use bookshelfs for the the immediate future I think I
could live with a good integrated.
