Relationship between McCormack and CJ?

Steve McCormack is a consultant to Conrad Johnson, he told me this day before yesterday when we were discussing CES.

Michael Creek now owns Epos Acoustics loudspeakers. He is also a consultant to Cambridge Audio. The various versions of the A1, A2, and A3 amplifiers; and the T500 tuner are his designs.

... and Steve, if anybody didn't know it, has a new company (SMCAudio) that modifies McCormack equipment....

I have his DNA 0.5 Rev. A + amplifier & it blows away amps costing 4-5 times as much.

Their website is smcaudio.com.

Follow up yes. At CES I was talking to Lew Johnson and he introduced me to Steve McCormick. Obviously to be at CES showing off the new McCormick gear, Steve is still very active, even on a consulting basis.

While I knop from personal definition that the label "consultant" can mean a variety of things, I understood that Steve McCormack DESIGNS the products built by CJ that bear the McCormack of Virginia name. The title "consultant" is generally perceived as a lesser role than "designer", at least in product development.

Also, Steve McCormack does excellent mods, as legions on this board have attested. However, keep in mind that this service is ONLY available on products produced BEFORE the CJ buyout (i.e. DNA-2 and prior).
