Adcom GTP-860 II
Hi all, I'm considering buying a Adcom GTP-860II for the heart of my new HT system. I debated between this one- the outlaw and the Sony TA-E9000ES. However turn offs of the outlaw- no SACD input or RS232 connector. Turn offs of the Sony- no component video switching, not 7.1 channel, no SACD input either.
I dont need a ton of DSP or sonic hologophic soundfield DSP's or flashy displays, but I do need versitility.
I searched around and then forgot that my favorite home stereo amp maker makes preamps too- adcom. I looked at the 880, but dang, too expensive and does a little _too much_ for my needs, then the 930, but that didnt do enough, but I then found the GTP860II, it looked perfect. Right amount of digital inputs which are assignable (but NO digital outputs unfortunately), video inputs, switching between 2 component video sources. 7 channel surround, external 5 channel input, multi zone outputs, 12 volt trigger outputs, so far its perfect.
Downfalls- no digital outs, no tone control bypass and the face is bright silver.
So can anybody else shed some light or offer a similar product to the GTP830?
Damn this hobby is too expensive haha.
