| McCormack DNA-1 Gold or DNA-225 I have a DNA-1 Deluxe with the SMc Audio Revision A+. At the time, that was the highest level of revision available. I have and continue to revel in the sound of my system with that amp. I don't know that much about the 225, but have no doubt t... | |
| Insuring your Audio Room? I specifically addressed this issue with our homeowner's policy insurers. They affirmed to me that since we have replacement coverage that everything would be covered in the event of a catastrophic loss. I have pics of my system and LPs, CDs and... | |
| McCormack DNA 500 loud hum Steve may just walk you through a diagnostic process to discover the real issue. Good luck. | |
| Audioquest @skoczylas I agree that the website could explain why one series might be more appropriate to a particular system than another series! I've never called AQ but perhaps they might be willing to discuss and clarify. Some of their reluctance to elu... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT Tim,I have no experience with any of the Rocket series cables. So I just don’t know. The Earth series cables i had been using (Volcano for Mid/Treble and Caldera for Bass) served me well for a long time. The mid bass once I got the Treo CTs was to... | |
| Audioquest Thanks Tim! The PSC+ copper along with FEP tubes and the 72 volt dbs system make for a fine pair of interconnects. Enjoy. Phil | |
| McCormack dna1 to Sony 1040 @OP It may not be what you want to hear but Matt is absolutely right. Consider looking here and at other sites that carry pre-owned gear and try to find a simple tube amp ala cj or the like. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT @stringreen I bought my Treo CTs from John Rutan at Audio Connection as well. He can really talk audio and knows all about Vandersteen's line. He correctly predicted that I would likely be unhappy with the speaker cables I had been using with my ... | |
| McCormack DNA 500 loud hum I would suggest calling Steve McCormack at SMc Audio at 760-732-0352. Steve upgraded my original DNA-1 Deluxe to an SMc Audio Revision A+. Fantastic amp!I've had occasion to talk to Steve and I think you'll find him helpful and enjoyable to talk... | |

| More crazy audio tweaks? how kooky is TOO kooky? | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT I've owned various Vandys for the last 30 or so years. Every pair reproduced music rather than "hifi". RV has always gotten it, it's just that over the years he has refined his basic transducer concept to make his newer offerings all the more mu... | |
| Audioquest @corvette01 I ended up choosing Colorados over Columbia due to more realistic bass impact and depth from the Colorados. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT @mr_m You are in a real good place. Stay the course! | |
| Audioquest Bill Low, AQ designer, has done a great job for many years at offering cables in the line that provide incremental steps up in performance. As you move up a cable you either get better conductors or dielectric. It comes down to what your wallet c... |
