Is my amp "High Current"?


Hi, I own a McCormack DNA 0.5 amp that has been upgraded to rev. A at SmC Audio. I read about speakers benefiting from using a high current amp, and was wondering if mine was considered to be one.

Thank you.

Yes, McCormack amps are high current design.

Steve at SMc Audio (where mods were done) will gladly talk to you. You have a very NICE amp there!! Have fun!!! Only thing I like better is tube amp, but for solid state McCormack is great!!
High Current is most commonly used to describe an amp with the ability to deliver increasing amounts of current into low impedence loads. The ideal amp would deliver twice the current as the load halves. For example, 100 watts into 8 ohms and 200 watts into 4. Many designs are able to deliver brief peak amounts of current far in excess of their rating, but can't sustain current demands for very long.
