Wyred 4 Sound STP SE and ST-1000


Their slogan of "Rediscovering your music" is no spin. This Preamp and Amp combo are giant killers for the price. They provide exactly what your source component provides, which is all any music lover could ask. The company's component break-in time is totally accurate. Only after 300 hours will you experience what these components are capable of. I matched these with Ty Lashbrook's Linbrook Signature Monitors and two of his Subwoofers and it was a match made in musical heaven. It is not a solid state sound or tube sound, but rather a master tape sound. What more could you ask for. I'm done shoppin'!

Bondmanp, if these are two different companies, why is it that the contact information for the Spread Spectrum Technologies Ampzilla 2000 amplifier is the phone number for Wyred 4 Sound and the e-mail address given is info@wyred4sound.com? Not trying to be a smart-ass, but these are the facts. I guess you could say that Spread Spectrum is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wyred 4 Sound, which in my mind, makes them the same company.

I tried my friend's W4S STP-SE Preamp and SX-500 mono blocks combo in my system and was amazed (they replaced a Cullen Stage IV PS Audio Trio C-100). The STP-SE is a very transparent preamp with a hint of tube like color. Their W4S amps are amazing all around. I ended up buying a W4S DAC-2 and a pair of the new W4S mAMP monoblocks. I run the DAC direct to the monoblocks and I am now in musical heaven.
I stand corrected, Theloveman. This must have happened within the last year or so. SST was Bongiorno's company. I know he passed recently, so perhaps as his health declined, he sold to W4S. In any case, AFAIK, the designs for each amp are totally different. I think the Ampzilla 2000 is a class A/B design. The W4S amps are Class D.
i also have this combo completely satisfied from this $4,000 purchase rest of system modwright tube -modded sony 5400 sacd/ cd top of line ( at the time )morrow audio ic's & spker cables w4s power cords into dedicated electric lines sound is silky smooth very detailed powerful (1140 w into 4 ohms) grand soundstage coming out of mag 1.6qr spkers definitely tremendous value for the money
