@jsbw Woo! Glad it's meeting expectations. For some reason I have been blocked from signing in over at AudioAficionado and can't figure out how to get a hold of an admin. Let me know if you have any questions, I've been pretty active over there and had a big long thread about my adventures with tube rolling. Still experimenting with different tubes, including some exotic ones.
Upgraded McCormack DNA-1 or Dennis Had Inspire SEP?
It’s make or break time. I need to make a decision about which direction I need to take regarding my next amplifier. I’m coming from a Jolida Fusion 3502P that I’ve spent the last year searching for the best tube combinations.
Do I keep the McCormack DNA-1 I just bought and save up to have it upgraded, or do I sell it and buy a new Insipre amp from Mr. Had?
I have a pair of Klipsch Cornwalls, Better Cables silver serpent interconnects, high quality copper speaker cables, and I’m feeding them with a Marantz preamp, through which I feed almost all my music via Amazon/Heos.
Discuss.
Thanks in advance.

@isaacc7 i've been banned as well. i'm guessing its because i haven't renewed my membership. ivan the multi millionaire who only seems to have the site to brag and show off his equipment must really need my $20.....what a joke |
Fasten your seatbelt, or prepare to watch for different routes ahead. Amazingly, the circuit design will change again for yet a whole new-better-wow version of "slinging solder" coming out soon, out with the old and in with the new. Nope! It's unreal how many new circuits and variations can be discovered and different rectifier tubes to try with a small simple SEP tube amp :) Hopefully not to get on that rotating treadmill and just enjoy it. It takes a good preamp to make that amp sound its best. My inspire went to a new happy owner, enjoy!

@gwng8 Sorry, just noticed you replied here. He was super passive aggressive about me getting back on. I went ahead and paid the fee because Dennis actively monitors the thread and answers questions sometimes via one of the posters. Hope you're enjoying the amp! I continue to be amazed and have made some more tube discoveries at the expense of my budget lol. |
