Has anyone had one of these? Does it degrade the signal? Also I'm curious as to what is going on inside if anyone knows.
It bugs me. I notice a loss of highs & a loss of stereo image, even when not using the protection resistor.
In addition to the wire you'd normally use, the signal will also pass through the input connectors, then the switch, then the switch for the resistor, then (if switched in) the resistor, then the output connectors, then the extra length of wire.
I have the GFS-6. I also have a Niles, same deal plus two amp inputs and volume controls.
Try it, if you already own it. See if you can borrow one if you don't.

Thank you for your reply. The things you mention are also my concerns. I don't own one but there's a used for sale. I'll report back if I decide to get it.
My Adcom GFS-3 is actually sitting here next to me with the top off. If you want a pic let me know and I'll post.
BTW,
on the GFX 3 what type are the input output connectors? I really can't tell by the manual.
Great pictures- thank you! So much for using my MIT cables. I don't think that I've ever seen these connectors before.
I was totally new to the connectors myself. I just ran 12AWG, put bananas at the speaker end, and bare wire into the selector.
