McCormack pres/amps and Steve's mods


I have a DNA .5 Rev A and absolutely love it. I may never part with it. Right now, 100wx2 should be plenty for the nOrh mini 9.0's I have coming. But what happens when I want or need more power? Do I go with a matched pair of DNA .5 monoblocks, or a DNA-1 Rev. A?

On that note, does a DNA.5 Rev A sound the same as the DNA-1 Rev A or DNA-2 Rev A?

And what should be the next upgrade based on the nOrh speakers - having Steve upgrade my stock RLD-1, or adding/upgrading the amp?

It's nice to get an idea of where my upgrading will go so I can set appropriate savings goals. :)

If your speakers will allow, I would recommend verticaly bi-amping w/ a pair of 0.5 Rev As, but I also really liked my 0.5s with a BAT pre-amp.
Ditto 4yanx comments about Steve Ms customer service and good advice. I've moved into a much more estoric beast (tube otls), but my 0.5 Rev A+ was a pretty damn impressive amp.
You are right, Artg. I do have a Berning and other "true" OTLs. Still trying to make up my mind.
