Stick with,Mac or coda for longevity
if I had the,coin, I would get a Mac, the ayre is nice also!
read a lot of reviews before the wallet opens!
i saved up some good coin with family help, took me just over or under 4 1/2 years to save. Was not easy. I’m glad I had the strength to save, and for the nice lady going through a divorce , and helping me with total price for my monoblocs!
had 3 brands I was very interested in here on the gon, pass, McCormack and ……crap, forgot,…anyway, I think the one pair sold, so it was between the pass and McCormack’s, after luck that they didn’t sell, and reading the entire internet about pass and McCormack, I think the pass monos were 300 RMS, AND were in great shape, after many late nights reading, calling the factories, talking to two of my cousins, to get their thoughts, as this was a unheard purchase, only the second time or maybe 3rd a blind purchase was made, so happy with the McCormack monos’ the,correct choice was made, as far as future upgrades.
I suppose I would have flaunted themPass amps more, but the correct decision was made!
as soon as I seen the truck pull to curb, I sprinted to help, as I’ve been disappointed on many occasions with the moron fed X and ups, bunch of disrespectful morons. Arrived in 3 boxes, so the lady was awesome at packing them! Unpacked, put on rug overnight as it was cold when they arrived.
it was like Christmas when I woke up, put on the stands, wired everything up, double and triple checked all connections. After hum and static, it was fixed with better shielded cabling.
she helped me so much, the LD-2 WAS IN my grasp, and scooped her up as well as the aging UDP-1. For a great price, ended up with a great system of top tier audio for an amazing price, all components are in like new cond.
damn, detailed it,,sorry.
Mac, coda, is the way to go.
Happy shopping!
