I own a McCormack DNA1 and a TCL-1 preamp and Merlin TMS-SE monitors[which I really like].
While I have been very pleased with this combo I do find it, at times, a tad forwards, somewhat grainy, and harsh/tizzy esp. at the higher frequencies.
I listen to a wide range of music, esp acoustic and vocals. I'm in a position to upgrade and I was wondering how best to invest.
A) Get the DNA1 upgraded B) Purchase a tube preamp C) other ?
I matched my DNA 2 with an Atmasphere mp 3 pre amp and the results have been astounding compared to my previous line stage and the 7 other auditioned pre amps. If you have a dealer near by give it a listen.
