Spectral DMA 200


Have recently acquired a Spectral DMA 200 amp and can’t hardly find any information about this amp. I call the manufacturer and was a dead end. Per chance would anyone know where to source an owners manual/spec sheet? Any info would be much appreciated. Many thanks

Apologies for not stating my intentions to the group request. I’am most certainly new to the forum and didn’t intend to come across disrespectful. All that said, I’m an AV integrator and 2ch hobbyist and acquired this DMA 200 from a client as they were updating their home theater. This amp is truly a work of art under the hood > hand made in totality. I’ve researched this model for weeks trying to find any information as to the layout underneath said hood. The amp fires up and works, but since it’s a class A amp, it’s been working hard since 1987. My intentions are to troubleshoot and fix this work of Art back to its original sonic beauty. There are hums/ground loops present with no source connected. I’m simply trying to identify the signal path and potential points of weaknesses. Each channel is a mono block and there is so much going on under this hood, parts wise, I’m trying to discern what’s what > technical schematics, aka “a map” would handy in my goal of restoring this work of art. 
Sorry for the confusion > ground loops can pound sand IMO.

Many thanks,

Thanks to all for the input, as this forum has contributed very helpful information. I  can’t stop admiring the beauty of this handmade piece and don’t know how to curtail this obsession of wanting to hear it sing in its full glory. I’d feel ashamed to let this opportunity go to the wayside. Provided none of the groups advice pan out, I’m hopeful the universe will find a way for the DMA 200 to bring another individual JOY!

 

thanks again for all the intel and all the best

When a source is connected another hum is present or takes over > this hum will increase with volume. Head scratcher
