SALE PENDING! Classic if there ever was one. DNA 0.5 Deluxe version Comes with all original paperwork and accessories.   Excellent l sounding amp   that does everything right.   Designed  and manufactured under the direction of the man himself Steve McCormack.  

INCLUDES:

Original sales receipt
foot coasters for the "soft feet" ,generic IC cable.
grounding pin --if needed. --never used it. screws into chassis bottom
original manual and also instructions from McCormack on how to set bias.


Recent service for check up in 2014. New power switch installed.
When unit was bench tested power showed 144 wpc @ 8 ohms which is noted on service receipt. --- (OEM is 100 wpc ) Amp is stable down to 2 ohms and power rating would be above 300 wpc @2 ohm due to higher tested rating in the service check up. (OEM is noted as 300 wpc @ 2ohm.)


Cometics--- only blemish of note is the stenciling on the face plate as some of the script is rubbed off. See pics for heat sinks and face plate as well as other visual data.


NO dents or dings or bent fins.  Considering my penchant for detail---- the sinks  appear to have a slight variation in color  which seems to be that the  anodizing or "bluing" of the fins is sparsely applied in the areas that look lighter in color. Or,  this simply may be the result of aging.   It is not of consequence and I never notice it when in the rack.  Being these amps run in class A/B they get only warm to the touch . 


Will be obsessively packed in its original box with insert and a second box as the original is getting a bit long in the tooth.
I will give the buyer actual cost of shipping to be determined using my Fedex account.  Paypal included and buyer to pay actual cost of shipping. 


Questions for the seller
Was this purchased before McCormack was sold? thanks John
John, thanks for your interest. Purchased new (not by me) from stereo exchange in NY on 2/98 according to the receipt.. I would think that all DNA's with this faceplate were made when production was under McCormack supervision . Actually , looking at the Audiogon blue book shows the 0.5 was introduced in 98. You can research on the web ,, lots on it.
