McCormacks -- For lovers and investors

A few minutes a DNA 0.5 was sold at auction on Ebay for $1612. https://www.ebay.com/itm/265013964867?_trksid=p2471758.m4704

It had the "A" Revision mods done in September 1999 and was well treated. But still.

I have moved to tube amps in the past few years and have a DNA .05, upgraded a few years back to their Platinum version (i.e, but for the chassis, every component inside is brand new). The upgrade cost was $3800. I am happy to have it in my stash of gear, but if someone is keen to have this outstanding amp, please send me a PM.

Sorry @arcticdeth, I only know about older DNA amps but I’m sure if you contact SMcAudio (or CJ) they’d be able to tell you. I’d tend to doubt they used the same input boards considering those amps came out later and may well have used CJ-sourced components, but that’s just a guess and there’s only one way to know for sure. I’d be curious to know what you find out.
