When we visited Dr. Vinyl in his Baltimore-area dealership earlier this year, we were able to get a sneak listen to a couple of new products from McGary Audio: the SPA1 tube preamplifier and the MA1 monoblock tube power amplifiers. Now, Dr. Vinyl and McGary Audio are teaming up for a very special dealer event on October 14, 2023.
At Part-Time Audiophile we’ve been big fans of Mike McGary’s tube amplifier designs, which combine that gorgeous sound of vacuum tubes with a modern attitude. You can read our McGary Audio reviews here:
