ADCOM GFA-555II 2CH SOLID STATE 200WPC@8Ohms

USED
ADCOM 555II
SOLID STATE, TWO CHANNEL POWER AMPLIFIER

I am the second owner of this unit since new. I purchased it roughly three years ago and incorporated it into small system with a PS audio Preamp and DAC powering a pair of Paradigm Studio 20's. However, it wasn't long before I came across a sweet deal on a larger amp that I just couldn't pass up on. So, this unit has been in storage for nearly two years and must now leave the collection. In addition to Audiogon, this amplifier is also listed on Ebay under item number 150774692682. Copy and paste this number into the search field at the top of the Ebay home page if you prefer using Ebay. The price is the same and shipping is included.

The base ratings for this power amp are as follows:

200 Watts per channel @ 8 Ohms (0.04% THD)

325 WPC @ 4 Ohms (0.04% THD)

600 Watts Bridged @ 8 Ohms (0.09% THD)

This unit is very clean with no obvious signs of exterior wear. The unit has been verified to be fully operational without any sonic malfunctions. Be advised that one of the small rubber plugs that is used to conceal the threaded holes for the rackmount brackets is missing and visible in the slideshow. In addition, a VERY small scratch exists on the top of the faceplate and is visible in the slideshow as well. Additional photos are available upon request. Please include a personal email address to which I should send them. I am not sure exactly what year the amplifier was manufactured in but if I had to guess I'd say sometime in the mid 90's. For those of you are familiar with this amplifier you are no doubt equally as familiar with it's designer Nelson Pass. Pass designed several poweramps for Adcom including this particular model the GFA-555II. Read more about Nelson Pass here:

This unit will ship FREE anywhere in the continental United States via FedEx ground. International buyers are welcome but are responsible for shipping costs with the carrier of their choice. The unit is HEAVY, roughly 35lbs and will require substantial packaging material to protect it in transit. I have personally purchased several heavy amplifiers here on Ebay which were inadequately packaged, some arriving with physical damage. I understand what it takes to protect a heavy, bulky item such as this and I assure you I will pack this well and secure. Be advised, all sales are final. Under normal circumstances I do not accept returns. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have regarding the unit prior to purchasing.

***Please Read the Following Before Bidding***

The following is My EBay Policy. I strictly adhere to it and I expect you do the same.

Only in the event that I send you completely the wrong item will I accept a return. Additionally, I will assume all return shipping expenses. Otherwise, all sales are final and no returns are accepted. All items are sold "As-Is".

I accept PayPal only. Payment must be made within 7 days following auction close. If payment is not received within 7 days you will forfeit the item. I will re-list the item with a notation regarding the reason for re-listing and file a failure to pay claim with Ebay.

I will combine shipping to the extent that all the items you have agreed to purchase will fit into a single Flat Rate container. If it is necessary to use the next size larger Flat Rate Box to accommodate the additional items I will notify you via E-Mail. I will ship internationally at a flat rate. My policy regarding combined shipping applies to international orders as well. I WILL SHIP TO THE ADDRESS YOU HAVE ON FILE WITH PayPal ONLY, NO EXCEPTIONS.

I travel for work so I’m not home several days a week. Therefore, I require a five day processing window following payment. I will send all items via USPS Flat Rate Priority Service unless noted otherwise. I do not charge extra for shipping. I charge you the same value USPS charges for shipping to include delivery confirmation. I understand your concerns about shipping fragile items. I will pack accordingly.

Any shipping damage claims should be filed with your local US Post Office. I thoroughly package all items with the assumption that they will be poorly handled. In the 8 years I have been selling items here I have never had a customer have a need to file a damage claim. However, if a package should arrive with obvious signs of damage, I strongly suggest you refuse to accept it. If this is not an option, ensue that the package remains unopened and get digital photos of the damage. Return it to your local US Post Office and they will assist you with a damage claim.

I make every attempt to list item descriptions accurately and　factually. If there is any KNOWN damage, corrosion, missing components etc. I will make note of it in the listing. I　will answer any and all questions you may have as long as it is done through EBay's　E-Mail service. I suggest asking questions if there is any doubt in your mind　about the item you are about to place a bid on. I will make every reasonable attempt to answer within 24 hours. DO NOT wait until the last minute to ask because I am not monitoring EBay throughout the day. I have a Full-Time　job that does not involve the internet.

All auctions feature NO RESERVE.

Some auctions may include a BUY IT NOW option. If you decide to use that feature you should be prepared to make immediate payment.

I strive to maintain 100% feedback. My seller history speaks for itself. However, please realize that I cannot make　100% of the people happy, 100% of the time. Take that for what it's worth.

Thanks For Reading, GOOD LUCK!
