The adcom stuff is stacked in 1 room
The 760 currently in not used in the "adcom" set up so the cd player wont necessarly be used with it, maybe when I change things around as usual

Heck, seems like most Adcom components could use rack-ears for aesthetic value alone. :dont-know:
Hey now .... dont be knocking Adcom . I've had really good luck with their gear and the sound/reliability is better than most in the price class (HK,NAD,etc) ....their looks are not flashy / BMWesque , but rather stark/functional. And on the used market its very reasonably priced. :D
who could ask for much more ?? :dont-know:
Remember Adcom components in white? That was pretty cool - too bad the plastic didn't age so well...
Well, one of my early GFA-555 amps came with built-on (non-detachable) rack-mount ears ...
Its the amp with the NON-ribbed faceplate at the bottom of the teak rack in the left picture.
The GFA-545 above it, the ACE-515 at the top of that rack, and the other GFA-555 have those pricey add-ons ears ...
The other 2 Adcoms I have, (a GFA-2535, and another ACE-515) have no rack-mount ears at all ... !

Oh WOW ....was reading this thread re: Adcom ....and just remembered that 2 months ago I made a trade for a pristine GSP-560 ....its a Pro-Logic amp that will do 2 channel just fine (according to Adcom)
Almost one of those "bag of beans for good thang" thing. ( 2 TT belts , empty headshell and 2 eight inch foams) :D
After letting it sit around while I looked for rack-mount ears long enough, I bit the bullet and pulled the jumble of power cords out of my cabinet and installed the ACE-515 alongside the cab, sitting on the ground. I'd had enough of popping the breaker when kicking on the system. Yeah, I know, bit it's an old house. Works like a champ. Can't speak for cleaning up the sound since my outlets aren't even properly grounded and there's a very slight low-level hum heard on idle that's still there . . . I'm still waiting to redo the entire bi-amp system replacing the DC300A-II and D150A-II with PS400 and PS200 but the Adcom gives me the benefit of adding the turn-on delay that's built into the PS-series amps without the effort. My only complaint is I wish they'd used more 3-way grounded outlets since even my Soundcraftsmen Pro-EQ 44 has a three-prong plug. I just used the biggest honking outlet center I bought with my first Macintosh over twenty-years ago, ran it from the switched outlet on the Soundcraftsmen Pro-Control Four, hooked the trigger from the Adcom to the outlet center and plugged the three-pronged accessories into the outlet center. Figure any conditioning the Pro-Control pre-amp gains from the Adcom will be relayed to the outlet center and all accessories. :dont-know:
So, Squeezebox last week and power sequencer this week, who says you can't breath new life into these old electronics?
