| Break-in period for new speakers - sealed boxes I'm taking notes; thanks for the input thus far. Keep em' coming. I particularly liked the question by darrylhifi. I had not thought about possible side effects on other components, only the effects on the speakers, by using certain tracks with ce... | |
| McCormack or Pass Labs Jwilt,You asked about McCormack DNA-2 Rev "A"s, but feedback thus far has been limited to McCormack's "in general" and the DNA-225. Read the info (reviews and threads) about the aftermarket revisions by Steve McCormack at SMC Audio. I'm sure you a... | |
| Philadelphia area audio club? My belated thanks to Dan for a wonderful afternoon of music and friends last month. Also, my thanks in advance to Rush for hosting this coming Sunday. Looking forward to getting together again to talk music and system, and discover new music; well... | |
| CAM 350 vs Omega Ref vs 450 vs Mono vs Omicron Really hoping to hear from those who may have listened to the CAM series and the Omega series. I have read lots on individual Classe series, like CA and the differences between CA-300 and CA-301, 400 and 401, etc., but not much comparing CAM with ... | |
| CAM 350 vs Omega Ref vs 450 vs Mono vs Omicron Thanks Mgottlieb, A very attractive idea. I have been trying to get a listen to a pair of the Andra II's, but have had no luck. I even contemplated driving my speakers to Tennessee to have a listen and leave them there if I like what I hear. TN is... | |

| McCormack DNA amp options.... Zach, You have received somer very good advice, the best of which was to call Steve McCormack at SMc. He is very accessible and helpful. Let us know how you make out. | |
| McCormack DNA amp options.... I'm taking the upgrade plunge, or rocket. I just purchased two DNA-1 amps that were originally produced as mono-blocks and had them sent to SMc for the rev A+. My speakers are Eggleston Andras, which are power hungry, thus I chose the 1’s over the... | |
| Need amp match advice to drive Eggleston Andras DNA-1 Standard Monoblocks. They are on their way to Vista CA to receive a Rev A and other upgrades. I have to wait until mid March to hear the results. I'll let you know how they turn out. Thanks for all the input. Jaycot - Let me know how the Str... | |
| Need amp match advice to drive Eggleston Andras Thanks to everyone for all your feedback. Now I have to figure out how to demo some of this stuff. I'd like to hear a McCormack DNA 2 (there apears to be a few models), and a Pass X 250 or 350 to compare to the Classe CAM 200's I heard, although I... |
