McCormack vs. BAT

What is the rest of your system? Also, what led you to choose these 2 amps as opposed to something else? I think if you want to get the best recommendations, you will need to supply additional info as to what your tastes are.

I prefer the McCormack sound to the BAT sound. BAT tends to be a little darker and not as resolving. The McCormack amps are detailed with just a little midrange bloom.

Shakey

I have a phono only system. Right now I have a GCPH directly into a Parasound A21 and Focal 826W speakers. I looked at these two amps because... they have a lot of power and seem to have good reputation, but I am open to anything in their respective price ranges 2500 to 3500 used. Thank you.

What are you looking to improve over what you have now? Kinda shooting blanks until you give some idea.

A little more power in the midrange and bass is what I am looking for.
