Upgrade McCormack or...
@mitch2 +1 I had my DNA-1 upgraded two years ago, and wouldn't trade it for anything. Mitch2, thanks for your response on the Clayton monos (better late than never) -- as you can see, I stuck with McCormack and have been very glad I did. Also, I agree with your advice to djsrubin re working with Steve. He is a rare find, and gives wonderful customer support. |
@cheeg - I am glad to hear things worked out for you, but after working with Steve and Patrick for years, I am not surprised. |
The new posts on this thread couldn’t have come at a better time. I currently have my DNA-1 amp at SMC getting a complete upgrade of the interior. Bought this amp in 1999 and had Steve upgrade it a couple years later. Talked to Patrick a few months ago about a complete upgrade. To be honest, I was ready to pull the trigger on a new amp I had been eyeing. After multiple conversations he convinced me that Steve was absolutely sure the new DNA-1 would match perfectly with my new speakers I am expecting in February (Salk Audio Song3 Encore). I am now about 30 days from getting my amp back along with the Salks. Patrick has been outstanding relaying advice on power cables, interconnects, and speaker cables. I can’t say enough good things about the information and advice he and Steve have given me. I am not a technical savvy audiophile, so Patrick and Steve’s input has been extremely helpful and reassuring throughout this process. I now nervously await for February to arrive. |
