I am not familiar with Mcintosh. But I can tell you an SMC upgrade on the McCormack DNA- 125 is hard to beat the Patinum level would be very hard to beat. The parts quality SMC uses is up there with the finest available. Some say that but SMC really does use the finest in the Platinum level.
McCormack 125 or a McIntosh SS amp
I have a McCormack 125 which I really like. However, I have always wanted a Mac amp. So now I am contemplating replacing the McCormack w/ a McIntosh 2 ch SS amp. So I wanted to see if anyone has ever compared these amps? Any other thoughts?
My current set-up is with a tube preamp, and Silverline Prelude speakers.
