    Nope. Just hooked it up for the first time about 30 minutes ago. Replaces the Krell.

    Jaw-floor

    Have to finish putting the system back together ( had the whole thing apart) but I literally can’t get out of my chair. This thing sounds glorious.

    I’ll possibly consider the upgrades down the road, but this is it for now.

    I have the same amp and agree with the sentiments on it. I had it paired with the Dared also until I picked up the Rogue Magnum 66.

    The McCormack replaced a Parasound 1200ii I had and I have never looked back.I just had my Sunfire Signature refurbished by Flannery’s and I still think the McCormack sounds better than it and it is rated at 425@8 ohms.

    I don't think so. I believe it's just the deluxe edition with no other upgrades.

    Paul, if this thread setup had a soundtrack, it would have been from a 1970s dirty movie.

    Congrats on the new acquisition, setup's looking good.
    Side note: been curious about that PS Audio Phono Pre...
    I disabled signatures.

    Bow chicka bow bow....

    PS Audio GCPH is very good IMO... I haven't had anything really high end, but this is extremely adjustable and has a very clean sound.
