| McCormack DNA 0.5 Deluxe thumps turning on/off Gruggn,No, the "thump" has never damaged my loudspeakers. I also have an Audio Refinement integrated amplifier that gives a loud "Pop" when you turn it on.I don't know what loudness or duration of the "thump" would indicate a problem with the amp. | |
| McCormack DNA 0.5 Deluxe thumps turning on/off I have a DNA-0.5 and a DNA-0.5 Deluxe and my friend has a DNA-0.5 Deluxe and they all "thump" when you turn it on.

| The Feelies are back Saw the Feelies live for the first time at Maxwell's in Hoboken. Amazing! I have to agree with the previous posters that their live show is a completely different experience than listening to their albums. Recordings just can't capture the energy ... | |
| Belles 150A Hot Rod with Audible Illusions preamp I'm currently running a McCormack DNA-1 revA. Kris Jeter at SMC Audio recently updated it and the latest mods really improved the amp. I've never heard any of the Belles amps but have heard really good things about the 350A reference. | |

| Nak TA-4A upgrade path? amp or pre first? I have a Nakamichi SR-4A and it has a "processor loop" that is shorted with jumper plugs. I tried to use it as a preamp, but the voltage was a fixed line level that wasn't controlled by the volume control. You may want to verify that you can use y... | |
