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 really enjoyed my stock one.  I demo’d a 225 at the time an the 125 was more than good for that system. One of the few pieces I should have kept .  

That is so weird that you posted your previous amp , as I went from a 2140 which is a great amp to the DNA 125 which is much better in my opinion.    The 2140 was a back up amp.   I decided to sell my tube amp at the time and the 2140 was doing fill in duty.  The 125 is technically a Steve McCormack design , sort of but it was built when CJ acquired McCormack.  It was built in the CJ factory.  I actually regret selling that amp, it was damn good.  I would leave it alone, the money spent to buy that and mod it is $$$   others may disagree but for me I would leave it stock.  Good amp 

Did not realize how many of these amps got modded....but there ya go....  it is a great amp,    Enjoy
