Conrad Johnson Sonographe sa400 or McCormack DNA-1


I'm looking for a new amp. I currently have an Adcom 5500 and was wondering if a Conrad Johnson Sonographe sa400 or McCormack DNA-1 would be an improvement in sound. If so, which amp is superior?

Preamp - Anthem 2lse tube
Speakers - JBL 150a (8ohm, dip to 5 ohm)
Cable - Kimber

I bought the sonograph amp and pre back in 1995/6 to run with my ML Aerius and they were terrible sounding to me, very dark and heavy. Sent them back for Classe CA100 and a CL PV12 which was a fabulous combo.
