I have tried Audio Research preamps on different model McCormacks and it is not a synergy match at all. The best match on the McCormack amps I've tried & heard are the Adcom preamps like the 565 & GFP-750.
Audio Research LS-7 with Mccormack DNA 125?
Has anyone tried these together? I am thinking of getting an LS-7. The rest of my system consists of Vandersteen 2CE signatures and Njoe Tjoebs 4000 cd player. I would like something dynamic with good bass response and wonder if the LS-7 will be too laid back? I have read numerous posts here about the synergy with the cj pv10 series with this amp...unfortunately cannot audition any of these. Any other recommendations for used tube pre's under $1,000 or so would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jeff.
