| McCormack SMC Audio upgrades: how good are they? Steve, on a side issue, how would you characterize the improvement in sound due to the input transformer in the case of the DNA125/0.5/etc. (other things being equal)?thanksLuigi | |
| McCormack SMC Audio upgrades: how good are they? do a search on the forum: there was a guy saying that a pair of Herron Monoblocks ($7000 new), sound overall better than a DNA125 rev. gold. Also, in my view upgrading to platinum will create you a problem, in that you'll need a SS preamp to drive... | |
| Question about power surge protection as far as I know the best (sound-wise) and actually easiest thing would be to install a magnetic circuit breaker. | |
| McCormack monoblocks using DNA-HT1 / DNA-0.5 it wouldn't be much of work I suspect.. Steve would just put two little input transformer each in front of a pair of channel, and he would do a minor rewiring of the inputs and the outputs... I believe the advantages of the balanced operation woul... | |
| McCormack DNA-1 upgrades by McCormack of Virginia From what I can see, in Italy Chario is considered to be better than Sonus Faber by COMPETENT people. What I wanted to get to with my comments is just that people sometime are overly concerned with their electronics but the problem lies in their... | |
| McCormack DNA-1 upgrades by McCormack of Virginia Mscott58, yes, upgrading the DNA-1 is a bad idea because of the resell value. I made this very mistake myself, with my DNA 0.5! I do like the DNA 0.5 revB. It has great timing and musicality, very good imaging, and great timbre. The only small iss... | |
| McCormack DNA-1 upgrades by McCormack of Virginia I was going to say: oh, well, you don't need to buy a DNA 225, a DNA 125 is more than enough. But now I read that those chario are 81.5 dB sensitive and they're a nominal 8 ohm! So the natural question is: would you consider buying more efficient ... | |
| Review: Herron M1 Monaural Amplifier Hi there, I also commented on your other review.. Just a thought: given that the input impedance of the Herron is unusually high, why don't you try a high quality stepped attenuator instead of the preamp? If you like it you could save a lot of mon... | |
| Review: McCormack DNA-125 Amplifier Hi,interesting review! A couple of questions.. Do you mean that the stock DNA 125 has a little SS glare, or that even the gold version has some glare?Also, where you able to compare the 125 to the old 0.5? I'm asking because I own a DNA 0.5 rev. B... | |
| McCormack DNA 500 versus the best Pass Labs amp Mitch2, what other solid state amps did you compare the DNA 500 with? | |
| McCormack DNA 500 versus the best Pass Labs amp Thanks for your comment. Just to clarify, do you mean that the DNA 500 is bested by the old Pass X series or by the new Pass X.5 series (or by both)? |
