Mccormack DNA-1 pre-amp & interconct recomd 1,300

rogue 99mag, modwright, quicksilver preamp????

B&K ST202 combination w/modwright pre-amp?

I had a McCormack ADL and DNA .5 and loved it-very flexible and great sound. Plus, Steve is around to do upgrades if you want and the matched set looks cool too. Cheers

I prefer SoundSilver Trilogy over AR Master, Aural Thrills Active, Bogdan Goldy & Audio Metallurgy GA-0 / Ag-0 cables in my Revel F-52, Emotiva XPA-1, Marantz AV8003, MHDT Havana, Epik Knight subwoofer system, but not over Antipodes Katipo and Komako cables. The SoundSilver Trilogy cables are the best value for the money IMHO. I believe the expense for the Antipodes Komako is justified in my system.

I would consider a McCormack RDL pre w/ HT bypass.
