DMA 260 Comments
I have had a DMA 260 in my system for about 18 months now and must say that I love it, more with each change that I have made subsequently. While I do use MIT cables, I do use a BAT preamp instead of a Spectral because I prefer the combination of tubes and SS to pure SS with my ML's. For those of you who do not have the money or do not want to use a Spectral preamp, the 260 is a real steal as a used piece around $7500. Based on my listening to my friend Marty's DMA 400's I have no doubt that the Series 2 260 is a better amplifier than the 260. What I am not sure is if I would give up the tubes to go there. I passed on my #1 slot at Goodwin's for a DMA 300 because I was not willing to give up the tubes.
