| Pass vs McCormack? Jim- As I think about your question, it occurs to me that you have nothing to lose by asking Steve McCormack and Nelson Pass that question directly. You can reach the former through SMc Audio (he does post on this site on occasion but unfortunatel... | |
| McCormack DNA .5 vs 1, after revisions... I've owned both stock and SMc-modded 0.5s and 1s. If you can get by w the lower power rating of the 0.5, I think that it's a no brainer. O.5. If you can tell us the room size, speaker, relative volume and musical preference, we can probably help b... | |
| What's up with that? I think the reason is clear. The new powers that be do not want members bypassing the Audiogon transaction system and thereby bypassing their cut of the selling price. It was unfortunately inevitable once they added on a fee based on selling price. | |
| Item Saids Paid In Full, But Paypal Saids Wrong ? The P.O. does not eat the loss. If the M.O. is bad, they will not cash it but they will send a postal inspector to investigate it as criminal fraud. And if you take that route, you would not have sent the goods because you would have gone to the P... | |
| Pass vs McCormack? Diff price league for similar power output. DNA-1 is over 150 wpc, IIRC. Pass is 30. | |
| Highwater Sound Isn't it amazing how even in these tough times both nationwide and in high end, there are guys like Jeff and Mehran from SoraSound on the retail side and Ralph Karsten, Bobby Palcovic, Steve McCormack, George from Lightspeed, and Nelson Pass (and ... | |
| TriPlanar Tips Lewm- You have a neighbor who has a ZYX Uni/Atma/Soundlab system? How awesome is that??? I've got a neighbor who used to play Streisand full blast on his Bose acousti-mass rig set up on the porch in the summer! Thank goodness he got a job on the l... | |
| Help with plasma TV choice Very very happy w my Panny plasma. | |
| Repair Exemplar 3910 or ??? Thank you, Tbg. | |
| Repair Exemplar 3910 or ??? OK, I'm confused. Tbg says no digital input but it does have USB??? Does that mean it plays digital files from a thumb drive but no networking capability? | |
| McCormack REV B upgrades. Better than a new amp? Agree w Soix that Rev A+/Platinum is the way to go. | |
| Highwater Sound Never had any business dealings w him, but he always has great sound at the shows. | |
| Wanted schema for Audio International, CM Lab 912a IIRC, there is a member with a CM Labs amp; search the forums and you'll find a thread he posted and you may be able to contact him. At one time I owned one of their amps, a 150 wpc mil spec behemoth but it got fried in a lightning strike. Your en... | |
| In re: MOG, and Anne Briggs Thanks for the tip, LJ. I'll give it a go. I'll pass on one vente, double decaf, soy mocha caramel macchiotto w a shot and I'll be ahead a buck two eighty. Stay cool everyone, esp our Colorado and DC area friends. | |
| Audiogon members poor packing and shipping damage Cheaper is not always the best way to go.No way to argue w that, since it's true but I will caution that original packing is not always all its cracked up to be, esp if:1. Its old.2. It's been shipped back and forth across the country 20X3. It's b... |
