McCormack Amps No Longer Manufactured?


Googled McCormack Amps and found out they are no longer. They are being serviced by Conrad Johnson. Anyone know anything about this?

The McCormack brand was sold by Steve to Conrad-Johnson long ago. Steve has continued to build and rebuild his own gear including upgrades to his amps (DNA-1, 0.5 etc) under the name SMc Audio (https://smcaudio.com/ ) and he builds a world class preamp, I'm told.

My DNA-1 died after 20 years of continuous use, and I made the mistake of selling him the amp housing instead of getting him to rebuild it 3 years ago. Now, he's building a new amp in existing DNA cases using his "Gravity Base" system, which he says is the best amp he's ever built. I'm looking for a dead DNA to buy so I can get one. His amps match very well with Vandersteen speakers, btw.

I just came back to this post. I looked at your system and SMc amp, but it doesn’t look the housing of my old McCormack DNA-1 from the 1990s.

What is it? Thanks.
