Thanks for the responses. After researching on Audiogon for warm sounding IC's, most people recommended Cardas Golden Cross or Acoustic Zen Matrix. I ordered the Acoustic Zen Matrix and it is a very good match to the DNA1 and unleashed the potential of Steve's amp. It does everything the reviewers says, very warm, good detail, more emphasis in midrange and lower high frequency range but not very bright which is what I was having trouble with the Monsters, and dead nuts quite in the background. Brought the music to the forefront. Also my ears stopped hurting from listening too long. Now I know what high end IC's are about.
Which RCA IC's to use with McCormack Amps?
I would like to hear which RCA's folks here use with their McCormack Amp connected to their Preamp. I have the DNA1 Deluxe and I am using a pair of old Monster Reference 2's. I don't have any experience with high end RCA's except that I purchased a pair of Kimber Hero's and found myself going back to the Monsters. Kimber although very detailed and neutral didn't seem as good a fit with an already extremely detailed amp. I would like to know which RCA's and at what price range people are using so I have an idea before I go shopping. My other components are: DNA HT1 Deluxe, B&K Ref50 HT processor, Toshiba A3 HD player, generic 10 awg speaker wires. Thanks for your inputs!
