Preamp for Mccormack 0.5 mono

I'm getting that feeling the Mccormack's work even better with their own preamps.Does anyone else feel this way?Thanks for your responses.

Paul, how are you. I used ARC LS-15 with my DNA-05 Deluxe with great results, but it does not have SSP throughput. But the newer LS16 does. ARC tube preamps have a very open sound that is a good complement to McCormack amps. I now use my LS-15 with DNA-125 and I love the way the Research sounds with McCormack. I also heard my friend's system, Sonic Frontiers Line-1 with DNA-125 and the results are great. Very smooth sounding combo and Line-1 has SSP. Also try audio assylum for suggestions(search the posts there). Best of luck.

BAT VK3i has an HT pass-thru and worked great with my 0.5. Shoould run you $1-1.5K.
