"The GFP-565 was designed to satisfy purists, who normally demand as simple a signal path as possible, as well as those audiophiles in need of a full-featured preamp. These two seemingly contradictory requirements were addressed by supplying the 565 with three sets of outputs. The bypass outputs are intended for the purists (among whom I include myself). No tone controls or filters corrupt the signal path when the bypass outputs are used, but the balance control is still operational. The bypass outputs are also direct-coupled, eliminating any possibility of sonic degradation normally associated with coupling capacitors." Gary Galo, Stereophile, Vol.13 #2. See link for complete review.Specifications: Output impedance (bypass, normal, and lab outputs): 100 ohms; Output level: 2.0V (rated), 10.0V (max); THD plus noise: 0.0025% (high-level), 0.009% (phono). IM distortion (SMPTE): 0.0025% (high-level), 0.0025% (phono). Frequency response (±0.5dB): 5Hz–90kHz (high-level), 5Hz–70kHz (phono). RIAA accuracy: 20Hz–20kHz ±0.1dB. Weighted S/N ratio: >100dB (high-level), >95dB (phono). Currently running it in my rig using vinyl and CD source via the ByPass outputs which are the best choice on this model. Super quiet and sounds excellent. It's quieter than my CAT SL1, but not nearly as refined per sound quality of course.
COsmetics are good, front panel is clean, top and sides has a few small scratches. All features functions, like Tone controls, balance, Contour, HiFilter, Mono etc. This is an early production model, assembled in NJ. SN: 935-133620. Clean inside as per photos.
No Manual.
I have 100% positive feedback as josefm on eBay. Thought i had feedback here but they seemed to have expired?
