Adcom GFA-535II Stereo Power Amp

We just got in a number of classic Adcom units.  This is a 60 wpc stereo power amp with a dual mono design.   

From an EBAY review of this amp:

"Price Paid:  $200.00 from eBay

Summary:
The Adcom GFA-535 (and its successor, the GFA-535 Mk II) is truly one of those rare, amazing values in audio. I’ve used it to drive my Acoustat 1100, Magneplanar 2.6, NHT 3.3, B&W 801 Matrix II, and Martin Logan Sequel II loudspeakers and not once has it disappointed me or left me wanting. It may not have the power of my Krells or Aragon amps, but it can stand with them on clarity, timbre and presentation. It’s uncolored without being cold or sterile; transparent while avoiding transistor shrill; and it is revealing enough to reveal very subtle differences in recordings as well as cable and equipment combinations.

One thing I’ve found is that like other good equipment, it is sensitive to cabling, interconnects and warm-up. Some of those who haven’t been pleased with it, I can only imagine that they either have a bad combination or maybe it’s a defective unit. 

Loudspeakers: Martin Logan Sequel II, NHT 3.3, B&W 801 Matrix II
Source: Krell Digital, Adcom
Preamp: Audio Research, Adcom, Mark Levinson
Cables: AudioQuest, KimberKable
 

Strengths:
Musical, transparent and revealing. Sonically comparable to the best transistor amplifiers I've used.

Weaknesses:
None, although if it were bridgeable, that would be a nice feature.

Similar Products Used:
Audio Research, Aragon, Krell, Mark Levinson, Sunfire, NAD, other Adcom"
