Description:
The Adcom GFT-555 II is a dedicated AM/FM stereo tuner from the era when radio was still treated as a serious HiFi source.
Built as a standalone component rather than an afterthought inside a receiver, the GFT-555 II was designed for listeners who wanted stronger reception, lower noise, and better stereo separation from FM broadcasts. Its published specifications include 80 dB mono / 75 dB stereo signal-to-noise ratio, 60 dB stereo separation at 1 kHz, and 0.1% stereo THD at 1 kHz.
It also supports both 75-ohm and 300-ohm antenna connections, making it easy to pair with a proper FM antenna for improved reception.

Why we like it:
The GFT-555 II represents a category that has almost disappeared from modern HiFi: the dedicated tuner. For someone who still enjoys radio, it offers a simple way to add FM and AM listening to a separates system without compromising the rest of the setup.
