Introduction

Introducing Adcom’s new take on the Preamp/Pro- cessor: the no-nonsense GTP-870HD.

Who hasn’t grown weary of manufacturers claiming every product on offer as redefining some elusive “standards” or idealizing the ever popular catch-all, “state of the art?” Well, so have we.

Intended to satisfy your requirements for a conve- nient, uncomplicated home entertainment solution, here’s a single-chassis package of Adcom separates- performance pedigree, with plenty of power and the stability into low impedance loads to drive any loud- speaker encountered.

Offering a comprehensive list of useful features and digital signal processing modes, the GTP-870HD for- goes costly cosmetic flourishes in exchange for a long-lasting high level of overall build quality, with changeable internal circuit-card construction and functioning serial port communication for future u dates and upgrades.
