Very reliable and durable
I have one that was bought some 13 years ago. It still works mechanically even after a lot of rough use, like walking too far while talking and momentarily tugging on the cable. Well, eventually, the locking clip on the handset end gave up and the small connector has to be held in manually. I've since reversed the wire so the old device now works ok. I'll keep the new one tucked away which was purchased mainly for the above mentioned reason but also because I didn't see another like it after checking several places. This little fella may be somewhat higher priced than many others I've seen but it's surely worth the price.

Sonically clean, very reliable and moderately priced audio equipment.
4 of 4 found this helpful It'a an Adcom; for those familiar with the product, little need be said. I have another that I have been using for decades. It lives up to its reputation of being a sonically neutral preamplifier, state of the art as is said by many and at a reasonable price. At the time this purchase was made, I also made purchase of three vintage Adcom power amps. These recent purchases are intended for use with an electronic crossover to experiment with speaker and crossover designs without having to tap into the main systems of which there are four. I design speaker systems.
Perks are the hi & lo mag phono inputs which have been excluded from most recent preamps and receivers. That also includes two tape input & output loops and a switchable signal processor loop, such as an equaliser.
The only problem experienced was whan a static discharge, created by me when inserting a jack, blew out one of the input buffers. Adcom labels them as AD-n, where n is a digit. Knowing it was an op-amp, the trick was to find an equivalent replacement. Thanks to an article I found in an audio BBS, short order was made of that search and several were purchased.
Prior to acquisition of the first preamp & power amp by Adcom, a friend loaned me his preamp and it was compared to a vintage (1970's) top-of-the-line solid state preamp, fully restored by me with better caps, the phono stage caps especially were replaced with silver mica caps. The improvement was impressive until that vintage amp was compared to the Adcom. I still have that old preamp for nostalgic reasons; I'm somewhat of a collector better referred to by my friends as a pack rat extraordinaire.
Would I get more Adcoms? Definitely, if and when I need more. I'm not one to fall into the hype trap associated with rediculously priced audio equipment which also includes cables and interconnects.

Superb compilation of Gordon Lightfoot.
Just wanted to enhance my collection of Gordon Lightfoot and this was a good way to do it. Searching for vinyl would prove difficult and Rhino has a reputation of producing excellent copies of the original master tapes. The enclosed hardcover booklet is very informative and well written.
