Is Adcom GFP750 circuit same as BZLS or Aleph L?

[KT]

Just curious.

Thanks,

Similar to BZLS.

How is that possible?
(I probably missed something somewhere...)

Well, NP designed it. Would be interesting how similar it is actually.

It should be similar to Aleph P too..

I thought the Aleph P was SUSY which looks alot different than the BZLS. Maybe I am wrong.

I was under the impression he was only designing for Pass-Labs and First-Watt. So what is the link with Adcom?

Don't forget about Treshold and Nakamichi ...

Are his designs from those still for sale?

 

[Stabist]

Don't sure what you mean - but e.g. - Nakamichi's power amps are quite often on ebay ... I think the model is 5p or something like that ...

 

[Leeuwarden]

I don't mean second hand but new. The Adcom is still available new.

The Nakamichi designs were really nice. I used to do warranty on them. I'd like to add a CA-7II and PA-7II to my collection. Only problem is I'm out of $$$$

In another thread I read that sometimes companies license a circuit, but the original designer doesn't have a direct hand in the design of a product. Sometimes he does a design , but the company decides on the components, etc. So, designers have sometimes more and sometimes less involvement in a product.

Pass is linked to that Adcom product though.

BZLS + X feedback - passive CCS + Aleph CCS = Aleph P

 

[GRollins]

Actually, it's not an Aleph CCS, just a 'normal' CCS. There's not much benefit to the Aleph CCS in a preamp. It's easier to just burn the extra watt or two of excess heat.
