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.
So instead of assaulting you with yet another slew
of marketing buzzwords and hyperbolic claims, we’ll
just proudly introduce to you Adcom’s latest no-non-
sense product: The GTP-870HD Preamp/Processor.
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.
No hype, no nonsense. Just superior performance
and lasting value for your money. What you’ve come
to expect from Adcom.
