FWIW, I think Rev A, B refer to the DNA 0.5, 1, 2 series while Silver Gold Platinum refer to the newer DNA 125/250 series of amps that were built after CJ bought McCormack.

| Noise/distortion coming out of speakers nothing wrong w Mofimadness' advice. if its a sealed unit its probably the only thing you can do, short of sending it out for service. It cannot hurt to try the rapid rotation method, AS LONG as the unit is turned off. | |
