My McCormack TLC-1 that was completely rebuilt by Steve McCormack at SMc Audio (see pics in my virtual system) is easily the best I have heard out of around 20 top contenders in the $4-$10K price range.
Best Preamp under 10K
Okay how about voting for best preamp under 10K. Its a tough call between the Levinson, Krell,Rowland, AR, CAT and numerous others, but I think I must go with the Levinson 380S. What do you think?
