Praise for Spectron

i recently purchased a Spectron Musician 3 Mk 2 amp to replace my dearly loved atma-sphere rig and have been so impressed with the level of service that i thought i should post here for anyone that is considering a similar purchase. i haven't received the amp yet, so am not in a position to comment on the sonics, though i will report back in a few weeks with my impressions. simon at spectron has been extremely helpful, both on the phone and via email, always with an answer to the numerous enquiries I sent his way. he must work all the time, as seemingly regardless of day or time, emails are responded to quickly and thoroughly. he's a wealth of knowledge and all to willing to share his expertise.

i've no affiliation with the company whatsoever, just a very satisfied customer passing along my experience.

after the wonderful support i've received so far, i'm not surprised to hear that others are also equally impressed with spectron.

i'm really looking forward to hearing the amp - thanks for the heads-up on the break-in, bostonbean.

the amp is basically stock, but i'm already thinking about VCaps or Bybees as a next step. from what i've read here on a'gon, both are worthwhile, but the bybees add a little more.

i've only had the spectron playing for three days, but WOW, this is one amazing amplifier! truth be told, i was a bit doubtful of ALL the glowing reviews, but can see now why the press is so favorable - the praise is all well deserved. the musician 3 mk 2 is truly a special piece of equipment.

of course we all have different predilections - mr coffeey makes that case plainly - but this amp really works for me. sounds remarkable!! i'm not saying it's for everyone, but i definitely love what i'm hearing.

@ George: i had am S-30 Mk3.1. wonderful amplifier by all accounts, but i reluctantly had to sell it, as the glowing tubes were just too tempting for little fingers.

the S-30 was a brilliant piece - it did most everything right, but i don't feel like i've lost anything in moving to the spectron. in fact, in some areas, i feel things have improved.

the spectron is a great amp, and simon is simply peerless in his commitment to the consumer.
