| McCormack DNA1 options Check your power. I have a DNA-2 with a digital front end. I noticed some of the characteristics that your describe before I went in and put in decient power conditioning. | |
| Okay, the gloves are off. Let the fur fly Of course a single driver can be more musically accurate than a multi driver array across a limited range of the audio spectrum. The only problem is the effeciency in trying to generate sufficient SPL across the entire spectrum. This is why Albert... | |
| cornfedboy, signing off Hey CFB,Are you sure that there is a problem? If you were giving out advice regarding the members interactions with A'gon, well then I'd see your point, but I'm not quite sure why your advising me on the best phono cartridge would be a conflict of... | |
| JPS LABS-DIGITAL AC...w/CAL CL-10 I use two of the JPS Digital A/C cords. I use one with my Theta Casablance Pre/Pro and one with my Theta DaViD transport. Using the P/C on the pre/pro lowered the noise floor. This was especially benifical to me because I have a fairly high gain t... | |
| Amplifier Hum Craig,My DNA-2 transformer hums also. I've found that it only hums when one branch circuit in the house is turned on. The circuit is controled by a dimmer/timer. I'm not sure how exactly this might help but try and see is there is any correlation ... | |
| Balanced Amps at a reasonable price? There is a McCormack Audio DNA-2 Rev-A for sale at $3200.00Buy it now, you won't be sorry.John | |
| I need your expert advise Please before you do anything find a friend or a dealer who will let you audition a set (both I/C and speaker) of quality speaker cables. I would recommend JPS Labs cables as I am quite familiar with these cables and think they would match well wi... | |
| Does anyone answer e-mail? Hello? I must admit that with two exceptions everyone I have e-mailed has responded. As long as we treat each other with respect everything goes OK.John | |
| Equipment priority for powercords My experience was that each component showed a slightly different effect on the overall sound. First a JPS digital AC PC on the pre/pro resulted in an overall reduction of the noise floor. A JPS power AC on the power amp resulted in greater dynami... | |
| Modified equipment... What about SMC modified McCormack equipment? I think these mods would return some of their additional cost and SMC waranties their entire product. | |
| Which speakers do the hologram thing? The spatial imaging is much more dependent on speaker placement within your listening room. Distance from the rear and side walls as well as toe-in all have a very large effect on the image generation. | |
| equipment sound bad? This is a very thought provoking thread and made me think about what I looked for when desiging my setup. I tried very hard to create a system design that reproduced the tonality of live instruments I was very familiar with. I used mostly solo ins... | |
| Stylus Cleaners: A magnet for Dust? Degaussing is a magnetic process. I think what we are talking about is neutralizing the static charge buildup. I'm not sure why the stylus cleaning is effecting the static buildup but when ever you rub two surfaces together you can generate a stat... | |
| JPS speaker cables...decent ? I like them. As multiple threads have pointed out only you and your system can tell if they will work for you. I found that the JPS cables match my system the best, they just seem to get out of the way. BTW I have Gallo Reference speakers connecte... |
