| A simple Request to Sellers- I've been lucky. Most sellers I've dealt with are hobbyists/enthusiasts and are more than willing to share their experience or help with trouble shooting. Now there have been times with some sellers that just move gear and couldn't care less about... | |
| Tube upgrades for Jolida 502B? You might want to confirm with Jolida but to me the only difference between the 502B and the 502P is that the 502B has volume, input controls and subwoofer output. Other than that the Amplifier section is the same. | |

| McCormack DNA 1 Rev A Mono blocks WOW Thanks for the clarification N2siast. Good to know the older Revisions sound great. I tried pricing out current revisions plus acquisition costs of a pair of DNA-1s and the costs were rising way past the funds in my bank account. | |
| McCormack DNA 1 Rev A Mono blocks WOW Hi N2siastWhat is the revision date of the McCormack DNA-1 Monoblocks you have? I'm very curious because I'm wondering if the earlier Revisions from 1999 to early 2000s are the ones that sound really good. Most of the time on Audiogon the only Rev... | |
| What Amp with KEF 105.2? I've had a McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe as well as a DNA .5 Deluxe and each more than handled my KEF 104/2 Reference speakers. The sound was very nice to me. Very open and airy. With the DNA-1s the music was a little more forward sounding then when I ha... | |
