Spectron Musician III MK.2 or Audio Research DS450


Has anyone listened to the new Audio Research DS450M mono blocks or the DS 450 stereo Class D amp's and compared them to the Spectron Musician III MK.2?..

Audiozen,

Let me check on that!

I just sold my Calyx DAC to a guy who after some different audio systems he is now using the Primaluna Prologue set (preamp and monos) and he says it outperforms his last Roguepreamp with Kismet's Stratos and other setups, also i have had some chats with the team of GE and they say that the Triton can handle any kind of amp very well, i saw a BAT (bk6200 2-channel) also, how would put this one against the Parasound?

Best regards

Miguel
Miguel..I have owned BAT gear back in 2001 and had problems with the equipment. Sold my BAT gear three months later. The company was having hard times recently and was just purchased by Music Direct. Regarding CODA. One of my top favorite solid state companies of all time. Much better than Parasound and would take it over BAT any day of the week. The CSIb integrated currently for sale on Gon is a steal for the performance it delivers. Tremendous power and very efficient. Smooth, warm, organic with tremendous dynamics and transparency. Since the Triton's are a little on the cool side, the Coda would be the perfect balance to deliver the warmth the Triton's need.
Thanks Audiozen,

That sound great!

I have a doubt in two things regarding TUBE gear:

Why don't they use Balanced inputs and outputs and are the watts on TUBES same as the watts on SS?

Best
