What is stereo?




There are now two system of high fidelity, monophonic (monaural) and stereophonic. Monophonic is a system that starts from one microphone and is fed through a single high fidelity set. Stereophonic is a double system. Two separate microphones are placed at different sides of the orchestra and two different systems are used to keep the two signals or channels separated. Two separate speakers are used, placed on different sides of you room. Stereo is much like 3-D photography, two slightly different sound reach your ears giving you a new dimension in sound.

Adcom GFP-555 preamplifier


 Preamplifier A remarkable combination of exceptional performance, flexibility and value

The GFP-555's musical performance is outstanding - by any measurement or listening criterion. For example,… one of the most satisfying preamps around in terms of overall tonal balance. You can go back to it after a few weeks and still feel it to be basically right; it reveals most associated equipment as more colored than itself.

At the same time, the GFP-555 is surprisingly affordable.

Superb construction, incorporating regulated power supplies with large filter capacitors, provides superior performance no matter how widely the musical signal or AC line voltage may fluctuate.

As for flexibility, you can listen to any source while taping from another. There's an unusual number of inputs and outputs, plus adjustable phono gain and capacitance.

Outstanding performance

The GFP-555's musical performance is outstanding - by any measurement or listening criterion - and at the same time it offers a full array of meaningful controls and features.

What's more, the GFP-555 does it all at a surprisingly affordable price. Surprising, that is, only to those who aren't yet familiar with the Adcom approach to design and performance Musical performance, in particular.

Gai path - simple and direct

The GFP-555's gain path is simple and direct from input to output. The use of a minimum number of components - each of the highest quality - means low waveform distortion and less phase shift

The gain stages employ the most innovative state-of-the-art. Linear amplifiers ever used in high fidelity components. These individually selected instrument-grade devices are in a class by themselves.

The speed of the gain stages is almost fifty times faster than CD or LP signals.  And the noise and distortion measurements are incredibly low. Direct coupling makes possible a frequency response from below 1 Hz to beyond 400,000 Hz
