Here’s my $1750…just tell me what to buy..


my old adcom gfa 555II died. I’m still using my old B&W 804 Matrix and I think I just fixed my old Lexicon DC-1, so….

someone just tell me what to do….my ADD is breaking up my marriage, as Ive been at dozens of sites, read hundreds of posts, which are just confusing me..

I’d like to buy a 5 channel amp as my rear speakers are CDM-1 from B&W ( yeah, theyre old too!)

I spend all day in the Operating Room, doing surgery, and I’d love to have someone else make a decision for me for a change..

thanks

Get Music Directs Marantz AV-7005 its on sale currently for 1195.
instead of 1600.00. Even Michael Fremer likes it!!!
Spend less on gear so you can afford a nanny, marriage counseling, and a move to CT where you can make more money.

There's a McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe Revision Gold currently up for sale that I would give very serious consideration. I have been using one for the past 15 years and have been very happy with it. It has been incredibly reliable, has great sound and sound staging and has been driving my Thiel 3.6's with ease. I actually think the seller is undervaluing the amp.
The McCormack is a great amp and the added advantage of having a great servicing and upgrading route via the original designer/builder @ SMcAudio.
