McCormack DNA 125


Hi, I am about to get a McCormack DNA 125 amp in stock form. I have heard different bias on modding this model. Right now I have a BK ST2140 powering a pair of Paradigm Mini Monitor v3. What is your opinion on this amp? Thanks

I used to own McCormack. Pat and I have a pretty long history.

I want to say that SMcAudio has made a pretty good business providing upgrades to their amps. If the DNA125 works and you like it, then keep it as is.

But, if you want to take it as far as it can go, get the upgrades.

@soix -

Hey @gdnrbob who are you? Were you part of the CJ/McCormack partnership?

 

Nope, Just a rather regular customer until I switched to zero feedback amps.

 

Though I will say that upgrading any of the original amps will result in better performance as the newer parts are better than the original.-Especially so considering those amps are over 20 years old now.

Steve and Pat learned a lot with the upgrade path and continually introduce new parts that they find to give improved sound.

@OP, I don't know why you couldn't phone them, but sometimes the lines get messed up. I suggest emailing them if you can't phone.
