Anyone listened to the McCormack DNA-750?
I have long lusted for the CJ Premier 350SA but unfortunately I cannot find a used one in my geography. A friend mentioned the McCormack DNA-750 as being a comparable amp in sound quality from CJ.
Anyone tried or heard of the DNA-750 or had a chance to compare them to the CJ Premier 350? Thanks |

I have wondered that as well, however it has a very low input impedance, so not sure how compatable with the cj tube pre amps it is.

I had asked a dealer about that a while ago and received this response.
"The Premier 350 was a remarkable amp. Although more powerful, neither the McCormacks nor the Brystons will have the image and transparency of the '350. The ET250 is what I would suggest for the amp that we have that is closest to the sound of the '350. It is a slightly different flavor being a hybrid, but I hear it as being as good as the Premier 350s. The ET250 softens dynamics a touch compared to the '350, but I find the mid range imaging a touch more engaging than the '350." Let us know what you decide. Joe |

I've heard very good things about the ET250S, and have a friend who has one who likes it very much. It is regarded by him and by C-J as a "sleeper", that is, a great product that a lot of folks don't know about. I've thought about getting one myself at times, but I'm very happy with my LP70S.
