Amp/Pre-amp for Vandersteens

I am not 100% positive but I believe that Vandersteen use to have their line run by McCormack amps at past audio shows.Possibly used their amps as well.The DNAs as you know also can have incredible sounding upgrades and there are no upgrades available for the new line.The pre amp you have is quite popular and should stay in your system.

Hi Swampwalker; The McCormack amps-- all of them sound great with Vandersteen 2Ces, 3As, and 3Asigs.. I would guess that's true for the earlier 2Cis as well. Richard Vandersteen and Steve McCormack used to exhibit together and use each others products. I haven't heard the new 125 & 225 amps, but own the DNA-2DX and DNA.5, along with Vand. 3Asigs., and 2Ces. They're great together. Good Luck. Craig.

......I can't help you with a phono stage, but there's another thread today that covers that very topic-- and it looks like some good info in it. Cheers. Craig

I recently sold my Rogue model 88 to a guy who was using the Mccormack.He say the Rogue is a much nicer sounding unit.Go with a Rogue.I upgraded to the Rogue 120 Monoblocks.

Vandersteens are at their best with GOOD tubes. If you move up I'd stay with tubes. I'd suggest the ARC VT 100 Amp. Carey
