SOURCE: Adcom GFA 5500 right channel emits horrible sound.

Adcom makes a great amplifer! Usually broken highs and no bass means blown speaker. Try hooking it up to a completely different input source. Try different speakers also. If problem persists, check the fuse. Most will have a fuse on the back you can screw out. Some have two fuses (one for each channel) If this doesn't fix the problem it could be expensive to fix. Also, does this model ave the thermal protection light and if so, does it come on at all?

Possibly. Most amps filter out line hum via low-pass filters. If you can locate a schematic, those would be the caps to check.

Bridge adcom gfa-5500

not unless it has a Bridge switch OR you design an inverter circuit for one of the inputs. If it has XLR inputs you can try to invert pins 2 & 3 on one of them, that might work...

How do you connect wiring to bridge an adcom gfa 5300?

The manual does not specify a bridging option.

http://www.audioreview.com/cat/amplification/amplifiers/adcom/gfa-5300/prd_116265_1583crx.aspx

"Weaknesses:
Not bridgable."

Generally an amp that IS bridgeable uses the positive speaker terminals and some switching method to tell the unit to run as bridged. This is NOT a recommendation to try it on the 5300.

Adcom gfa 555 blows the 10 amp fuse and the 6 amp fuse on the far right

Any fuse blowing is caused by a shorted component in either the power supply section or main audio amp part. Follow the fuse circuit and see where it leads you. Look around for burnt of damaged parts. Suspect anything sitting on a heat sink. The most common culprit is the audio amp main transistors, especially if someone shorted the speaker leads together. In the power part it could be the transformer, the large Electrolytic capacitors, rectifier, or voltage regulator. Some amps use an IC for amplification and this can blow the fuse.
