McCormack DNA .5 vs 1, after revisions...
Good luck, Jim. Not sure how seriously the 'phile bug has bit you but IMO, great, reachable customer service and implementation is at least as important as good design. I had a Llano Trinity amp once, a Randy White creation. Sounded great until it... 
Tivo Dumb.
TIVO is a DVR with a mandatory subscription service, not a cable box. If you don't want a DVR and TIVO's scheduling services, then TIVO isn't the product for you.My point, exactly.

Tivo Dumb.
It realy doesn't make a sense for me to double my payments for same digital cable services. the same additional $15/Mo will give me rental of cable company box that does the same job without paying fo the unit at all.I think you know the answer. 
Interesting Ads
Maybe it's just me, Chayro, but when the most common word someone uses in their writing or conversation is "I", MY eyes glaze over and "I" tune out. Not really interested in the life story of a wealthy narcissist who flits from Maui to Florence to...

What's up with that?
It is easy to put your email in a forum post, but how about when you just want to contact a member more efficiently than just hoping that he or she will read your post and respond. Given the high $$ value of many of the items sold, its no wonder t... 
Pass vs McCormack?
Jim- As I think about your question, it occurs to me that you have nothing to lose by asking Steve McCormack and Nelson Pass that question directly. You can reach the former through SMc Audio (he does post on this site on occasion but unfortunatel...

I've owned both stock and SMc-modded 0.5s and 1s. If you can get by w the lower power rating of the 0.5, I think that it's a no brainer. O.5. If you can tell us the room size, speaker, relative volume and musical preference, we can probably help b... 
What's up with that?
I think the reason is clear. The new powers that be do not want members bypassing the Audiogon transaction system and thereby bypassing their cut of the selling price. It was unfortunately inevitable once they added on a fee based on selling price. 
Item Saids Paid In Full, But Paypal Saids Wrong ?
The P.O. does not eat the loss. If the M.O. is bad, they will not cash it but they will send a postal inspector to investigate it as criminal fraud. And if you take that route, you would not have sent the goods because you would have gone to the P... 
Pass vs McCormack?
Diff price league for similar power output. DNA-1 is over 150 wpc, IIRC. Pass is 30.
