The McCormack amps are quite sensitive so you need to be careful with gain. I have heard and read many times that the AI pre's work well with McCormack. I would think passive's as well.

Audible Illusions vs. Audio Research?
I am looking to upgrade my pre-amp from a CJ PV10 to either of these units. Unfortunately I can't listen to either in my system but would be willing to sell what I didn't like (isn't audiogon fun?) The CJ is lacking detail & sounds veiled in my system. My system is as follows:
CJ PV10
Mc Cormack DNA-1
Phillips 963
Tyler Reference monitors & matching sub
with DH labs & MIT cables.
I listen to rock music only & don't plan on getting into vinyl any time soon. What do you guy's suggest?
