McCormack Advanced Rectifer Circuitry


I'm on the list to have my DNA-125 Platinum upgraded with the new ARC (both 1 and 2.) :D

Has anyone here already had this done to their McCormack amp? If so, what's your impression?

The more I read and think about this upgrade, the less I think about spending money on other things. So thanks in advance for saving me money in a bizarre sort of way!

Steve,

I remember reading here a couple years ago that folks were anticipating your new preamp design - can't wait to hear how it turns out!
Anybody with updates to report on this topic? I recently purchased a pair of used DNA-125 Platinum Monos and should receive them tomorrow. These were modified close to three years ago, so they predated the ARC options. Before deciding whether to send them back to SMC for any further work, I'll be comparing them against my stock DNA-500, which should prove interesting. (I also used to own a stock 125 stereo, which I compared against the 500 too, so I'm familiar with the sound of the starting point in this face-off. In that case, unsurprisingly, there was no comparison.)
Had the ARC-2 upgrade done to my Platinum DNA225 this past summer. Most noticeable effect has been additional clarity and information in the top end. Hope this helps.
