I am down to two choices to purchase a Preamp. Spectral or Accuphase. I need opinions since their is no dealers in my area to listen to these pieces for comparison. A friend of my had a Spectral DMC-10 I believe was Demian Martins last design before Johnson took over. Very tube like sound. Smooth, laid back and warm. Very rich sound. I read that Accuphase has such a warm, smooth rich character which I prefer, but the Spectrals are faster. Do the current Spectral Pre's retain the character of the pieces designed by Martin years ago, or are the current designs by Johnson over kill in detail but lacking their classic smooth character?
