"I used the Galo GFP-565 for a period of two weeks and, to say the least, was impressed. Its line-stage sound, via the Bypass outputs, was robust, with a good delineation of recorded detail. Stereo imaging was well-focused, the perspectives on my own recordings being reproduced with good depth delineation, though in absolute terms, the soundstage was somewhat foreshortened. This wasn't to a great degree, however—it was significantly worse via the Main outputs—and bearing in mind the Adcom's very competitive price, represents respectable performance indeed. On the downside, the extreme treble was a little shut-in, lacking air, even though the mid-treble was, if anything, rather forward. The overall balance was therefore somewhat dark-sounding, with the subjective result that the music sounded rather over-polite, particularly via the '565's Main outputs, when it reminded me of the original version of the less-expensive GFP-555. Low frequencies were also rather ill-defined via the unit's Main outputs, and consistently tubby-sounding when compared with the '565's Bypass outputs." —John Atkinson
