McCormack DNA-1 vs. Adcom GFA-5802
That McCormack DNA.5 that had Rev 1 upgrade sure went fast. It looked a bit odd to me. I believe it had a serial # from McCormack of Virginia and the board said DNA-1 from the pictures. Normally when SMc Audio does a revisions there is a signature...

Looking for power cable suggestions
Hi Byron.Did the Pangea AC-9 cords replace the Shunyata Pythons or the PS Audio Prelude SC's in your system? Also where did you place the AC9s and noticed the better match? Did you place them on your power conditioners or amps? I'm just curious if... 
DAC/Headphone Amp For Sennheiser 650's

Inexpensive Tube Pre?
I think Mik971 is referring to the Jolida 5T preamps that list around $350 to $400 here on A'gon. Hmm this is a tough question for me. The CJ gear of yesteryear which many audiophiles is quality made stuff vs the budget Chinese preamps of today th...

So Many Apogees for sale, and so few takers
