re adcom cheap products i want to upgrade my system and was thinking of buying adcom seperates i have heard from alot of people though that adcom sounds great but that the components are made cheaply and therefore won t last very long the time estimates i ve heard are like only or years is this true i own the adcom w power amp as far as i m concerned there s no amp which can touch it at the price range the build quality is very impressive and is far superior to other amps in the price range the whole amplifier is extremely solid with massive heat sinks and very solid casing if you open the amp up there are only very good quality components in and the amp seems to be designed extremely well perfect symmetry for both channels and two transformers one for each channel the binding posts on the back of the amplifier are virtually the same as those on the classe model ie very good i was also sceptical about the amps being built in the far east or where ever but if you look in the amp and see what components they use and how it was designed you can easily see why the amplifiers sound so brilliant i cannot see why people say the amplifier won t last not with those quality components inside sure the amp runs very fairly hot but that s how you get an amp to sound incredibly good my last point i recently auditioned the adcom preamp something like the or something it was two years old and it still sounded like new if you build an amplifier decently like the adcom s they will sound brilliant and last a long time period just my thoughts but then i do own one of adcom s amps alan webber webb itu sun ac za webb itu sun ac za the path you tread is narrow and the drop is sheer and very high the ravens all are watching from a vantage point near by apprehension creeping like a choo train up your spine will the tightrope reach the end will the final couplet rhyme
