Which pre-amp for the VAC 30/30
There is something wrong with your VAC 30/30. 
What preamp with McCormack DNA-125?
Forget about remote volume control; forget about tubes; Get yourself an used TLC-1 ( grey faceplate ) for $350 and you will never regret. The TLC-1 is made to match with the DNA series power amplifiers. Use the money that you save on your up-strea... 
Has anyone heard a Gryphon S-100?
Hi Guys,Why are there no reviews of Gryphon in The Absolute Sound or Stereophile?Gryphon is actively seeking a qualified US distributor. Since these magazines have an editorial policy of not reviewing products that are not available in the USA, th... 
Pass Aleph vs. McCormack: What to Expect?
Peter,You are missing the bass response because of the lack of power of the Alpha 3. Another "over-rated" power amp thanks to Stereophile. The McCormack DNA-1 will eat this amp for breakfast, my friend........................... 
Has anyone heard a Gryphon S-100?
Hi guys,I don't recall reading any review of the S100. If anyone did, can he e-mail me a copy of the review.Thanks 
Has anyone heard a Gryphon S-100?
Pal,I bought the S100 ( not S-100 ) and the Linestage brand new when they first came out in 1991. Both of them feature dual mono configuration. The S100 employs balanced inputs exclusively, therefore should you choose to use the S100 with an unbal... 
Is it worth to buy a McCormack SST-1 & DAC-1??
Donjf,Does your SST-1 provide the remote volume control function also ? Have you had a chance of comparing your DAC-1 Deluxe to the DAC-1 standard version ? I was told by Steve McCormack that there is a substantial improvement of the Deluxe over t... 
Is it worth to buy a McCormack SST-1 & DAC-1??
Thanks guys. This is exactly what I been looking for. I have recently bought a brand new matching pair of TLC-1 & DNA-1 from the dealer here ( new old stock ). My only question is regarding the remote volume control of the SST-1, the dealer ju... 
What are the perils of shipping worldwide?
I always take out my own insurance cover on the amplifiers shipped by BAX Global from USA to Hong Kong. This way, if there were any damages during transit, I can claim it off my insurance brokers, NOT Bax Global.Anyway, my experience with BAX Glob... 
Phony buyers on Audiogon
I fully agree with Unsound's comments. 
What are the perils of shipping worldwide?
I have used BAX Global on many occasions of shipping pre & power amplifiers from USA to Hong Kong. If you want to save money on freight costs, ship your speakers airport to airport. I am sure your buyer in Singapore is willing to pick up the s... 
McCormack Preamp???
Kevziek,I am glad that you said it as is.It takes a brave man to admit the facts.There is a saying " If you are in doubt, try it out" 
Phony buyers on Audiogon
Dma,May be it is about time Audiogon changes its rules for leaving feedback.No, you are wrong in stating that people have the right to change their minds. NOT if a buyer offers and a seller accepts his offer. This is a binding CONTRACT !!!!!!!!!! ... 
McCormack Preamp???
John,You know why you do not see many comments about the RLD-1? Cause it is not better than the ALD-1 or TLC-1, thats why. 
Phony buyers on Audiogon
You SHOULD be worried. If someone just offers to buy at your asking price without asking questions about your amp, then tells you that he has no money, I reckon he is after something else. The problem with Audiogon is they allow non-members to mak...
