Spectron Musician III MK2... what's next?


Hi,

I had 2 Spectron Musician III MK2 run as monoblock, but both of them had one channel out last year. There were 3 mechanics tried to fix them but all giving up, so I decide to retire these awsome amps.

I spent a lot of time googling great and not so expensive class D amp like Spectron, and I found Purifi have great reputation and could DIY. Then I come across an idea, maybe I could put Purifi 1et400a modual into the Spectron case, and maybe re-use some Spectron parts.

The transformer, primary power board, standby power board, caps board of Spectron Musician are still good. Lots of capacities such as Duelund Caps, Bybee Super Effects filters, Bybee Large Quantum Purifiers could be re-use. And also binding posts.

I could do some easy works like soldering, but not an expert of Circulity and Electronics. So before doing this, I would like to ask your opinion. Is it a good idea to re-use some Spectron Musician parts to assemble the Purifi’s DIY amp or make it sound better?

Thank you and have a great day.
