McCormack DNA-750 good?

If I had the money I would Ray them as well. 

 As mentioned it took me just under 5 years of saving every damn dime I could get. And I still ended Up buying used amps, but I think I bought the right ones, Conrad Johnson makes great stuff, and they are upgrade able by McCormack himself.  I will be buying the new NAD 515 bee cd player, and some cables by g rover huffman. 

I also need need to get my odyssey amps upgraded to kismet as well, I'm saving for that now, shouldn't take as long to get the Odysseus upgraded, not as much money, like making the huge purchase of the McCormack 750's.   I'm hoping this all works well, the bass of the sanders pre is still a little held back, I'll hook up a sub(cheap one) when I get a hundo. 

Well, my Dna 750's are amazing and perfect.  
I talked with Dan babineau on the phone about how I came to acquire his old amps, we had quite a nice long audio discussion , a stand up knowledgeable man!!

he confirmed these amps had the ultra upgrade by CJ before they stopped offering it. The all Teflon capacitor upgrade is what I have, I called the old owner, the woman who sold me, her husband purchased these amps and used for a year, lightly. Good news!

they were not really not broken in all that much, so I have some top shelf amps to say the least! I broke them in for months with a new pair of Energy rc-70's, which also were broken in for quite a while. 

I h ave about 175--ish hrs I think on the system, not broken n yet, and it is so smoooooth, airy, just beautiful sounding. Acoustic guitar is simply there and breathtaking, vocals, and mercyful fate is on par with Kim singing in my room!!! Just stunning!

i am using the Sanders preamp, and any bass complaints I had are gone, either I am used to the setup now, or the CD player, cables and break in are part of the sound I now hear. 

I hope olé these last me 20 years or more. I am happy with them ! 

Cheers, I have music to "hear".

 

Jeffrey Behr does have a nice system, full of different gear.

had these amps about a year now, I'm still impressed! with them.
best amps I've ever heard.  Energy rc-70's fully broken in and sound stunning, very rich, full detailed sound, absolutely no harsh, shrill highs at all, I'm in love!!!! Every note is full of soul, heart, flawless presentation to my ears.
 Also spoke with dan Babineau a couple more times, turns out these amps were his, and he did the all Teflon upgrades, as well as hybrid Teflon caps in the output something or other, he said they are probably not broken in yet, he recommended several hundred hours, as far as the amps use before I had them, there wasn't much, as the couple that bought them, were going through a separation, and the use was almost none. I'm happy!!!! So happy, an essiantally new pair for DNA 750's. Give or take a hundred or so hours on the new capacitors etc etc. 
  sigh, I can now relax with my amazing sound system, and know I have the very best.  The amps are just amazing! Would not trade them for anything, and I do plan on McCormack upgrading them n another 15 years, if they still do them down the road. 

Im happy

anyone wanna buy emotiva xpa-1 mono-blocks? Less than 300 hours, generous guesstimate. 
First gen limited edition ones. Post for info or contact me. 
They are flawless!

Funny because I had replied to a post and sent an email about my experience with Odyssey
a long time ago. I had shared my overall dissatisfaction with the quality and service and after that went with McCormack gear. It was a big upgrade but I think at the time you were amped up with getting Klaus gear.
That being said, I had better luck with McCormack stuff and later with Parasound amps which I own now.
I think Parasound is where I will stay, since i get ZERO background noise and Curl provides great value considering his talent.
Happy Listening....
