MacCormack Upgrades from SMc Audio?
Hi all, My Phono Pre-Amp is a MacCormack Micro Phono Drive bought back around '96.
Just doing some surfing today, I stumbled upon Steve MacCormack's site, and see that he lists two upgrade revisions for the Micro Phono Drive, and also produces a better outboard Power Supply versus the original Wall Wart that came with the unit.
From the sound of his description, his better revision B upgrade essentially replaces just about every component in the unit, going to better Burr-Brown Op Amps, trimmed RIAA Stage, Vishay components, etc, etc. The cost of this upgrade is said to be $500, and this was actually what I paid for this unit new when I bought it.
Also, the Outboard power Supply costs $275, WBT RCA's another $60 Whattya think?
