McCormack DNA 125 vs. DNA .5
While I can't halp with the comparison, I can chime in. I purchased a DNA 1 dlx from a local reseller a few months ago. I'm still getting to know the amp but am so impressed with it. The amp runs hot enough to poach an egg - and I don't dare leave... 
is the McCormack DNA 1 Deluxe the same as DNA 125?
I listened to the Dead's four disc set closing of Fillmore East this weekend. listened to it twice. . . .followed by Little Feat's Waiting for Columbus.The Dead set sounded fantastic given the age of the recording, but I am not entirely sold on si... 
looking for preamp with built in tuner
I am using the NAD 1600 as well. Have changed amp, CDP, and speakers over the years but the 1600 remains. Have not yet found a reason to change. 
Amp "pop" - need help

Here's a wrinkle - my amp is in "standby" until it's switched to full power. Is standby the same as full power? 
SAE A502 on the fritz - again. What next?
1/21/2004 update: This amp had been uplugged for two weeks while the office was being completed and the Mac components moved from living room to office. The SAE amp sat nestled on the bed in the guest room unplugged and lonely. That said, after be... 
SAE A502 on the fritz - again. What next?
I am definitely looking for a new amp. At the same time, I may consider a speaker change. I have two systems; one in the living room and one upstairs in the office. The living room consists of:NAD 1600 preAdcom 700 CDSAE 502 AmpInfinity Overture 2... 
McIntosh 2105 Amp and C-26 Pre
tuner. . . 74 I think (?).I love the 2105 amp. BIG difference over my SAE 502. The 32 preamp is, well, interesting. It seems to make a bit of a racket upon start-up. I'm not sure what causes the buzzing but after several minutes of warm-up it even...
