I've looked to all the threads about the Adcom GFA-585 Lim Ed (is there also a non limited edition by the way?) and I'm pleased and concerned with all the information about this amp.
I can buy one for 500 Euro's but the guy already admits that it makes noises over the speakers when it's cold but it disappears after the amp is warmed up. He first said that was normal with all Adcoms but when I said it was probably dued to leaking caps, even before I read these Threads, he said that that could be fixed by a technician of course.
How big is the chance that I have to perform all the things mentioned here like for instance washing the PCB's after desoldering all the caps and minipots. Is there a chance that I just could replace those "longlife" Elna caps and get away with it or are the noises directly related to abrasive capfluid spilled over the coppertraces on the board?
How good is this amp on Acoustat 2 + 2 electrostatics or paralelled Sixes?
Thanks in advance.
