McCormack Preamps


I have read good things about the McCormack TLC-1, but I'm looking for something less expensive. Any comments about the McCormack Micro Line Drive ? I have Magnepan SMGa's, a cheap CD player, and currently an AudioSource Amp Three (looking to upgrade that to a Bryston).

I used to have the micro drive; it's dead silent and transparent - as you'd expect, but really is kinda dry sounding with limited soundstaging ability, and a thin sound. It's also very selective on set up, requiring high output source (you cheap cdplayer may not cut it), short run, low cap cables and a fairly sensitive speaker, which I don't think the maggies are - so therefore, while a good product, maybe not the best for your system, IMHO
