Jim Alfredson Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 I bought this back in 2000 or so from Vlad at North Country. At the time he said it was the best phono preamp you could buy for under $1500. I paid around $550. I don't know if it is still the best in that price range, but it is damn good. Super clean, detailed, perfect implementation of the RIAA curve and very simple. Plug it in the wall, plug in your turntable's RCA outputs, plug the outputs of the McCormack into your preamp and... Voila! Instant vinyl yumminess! I don't have a picture because my wife has the digital camera at work today, but I can add one if anyone cares. It's in perfect condition. I'll sell for $250 obo.

Jim Alfredson Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Thanks, Lon! The other preamp was the Adcom GFP-750. Great preamp. No, I don't have that anymore. I sold it on eBay. If I ever have the money to build another hi-fi stereo system, that's the first thing I'm going to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
