Did some rearranging last weekend that left my DNA 0.5 sitting idle.

Looking for something with more grunt, 250 - 300 wpc, remote turn on capability for wife friendly system usage.
I’m in Chattanooga TN.

Anyone interested in a trade? Maybe other gear involved on my end for the right amp. Speakers, preamps, etc…

    I have been contemplating selling an NAD 218 that I no longer really use, I have two of them actually. I'm not sure if that is something you are looking for but I thought I would throw it out there. I may post them for sale here soon but I really don't want to ship if possible. I'm in North East Tennessee, not too far from Chattanooga.

    hopefully this helps.

    That’s a pretty cool amp, with some ballls it seems. Think I’m gonna sit on this McCormack until I find another place to use it though.

    Does your DNA 0.5 have the upgrades with a new input board, they have been known to fail after so many years.

    yes, I don't think the NAD really compares to the McCormack but it certainly does have some power. I will post them soon I'm sure, B&K has done better for my ears I think.

    No it hasn’t had any of the upgrades. I think SMCs base upgrade package is a little over $2k now as well. With 4 different 2 channel systems in the house right now I can’t justify that kinda spend either.
