McCormack DNA-225 vs. Threshold T800D

I owned a T800. Super sound. It's a quirky amp though. The
T series is prone to breaking down. I owned a T400 and T2 new. BOTH pieces had to go back three times each for service! I had a T800 and I loved the sound but sold it for fear of it breaking also. I've never heard a better amp
and I've listened to alot of them. I now own a DNA225 Deluxe. It sounds great. I'd love to put them side by side to compare. I decided that the Mac is the amp for me. It sounds great and leaves little to be desired. I also got tired of hauling heavy amps around. Also be aware that the T series amps can destroy other components. The T2 took out a pair of Snell Type B's. Threshold paid for the repair at the time.

My wife's friend's husband has a Threshold T800D and, after getting to know him, we A/B'd dis an my DNA-225. We both agreed that the Mc won, hands down. As I have said before, I eagerly await the DNA-225 revisions that Steve McCormack has in the works.

I am also awaiting to see what he has to offer for the DNA-225. I hope he can provide a package that will blow alot of 5K-10K amps out of the water. we'll see.
