accuphase compare to mcintosh
Accuphase compared to Mcintosh? Give me a break. What an insult to Accuphase. Mcintosh is crap compared to Accuphase. No way in the same league. But what's really funny is Mac is owned by a Japanese company, D&M Holdings (Denon and Marantz). J...

Ayre MX-R VS Vitus SS-010
Frankpiet. Since the Preamp is the most critical part of any system, and you want the speed of the Ayre, it would make sense to apply the Vitus SL-101 Preamp to a very fastamp, such as the best class D amp on the market, the Spectron Musician III ...

Primare Pre30 vs. the Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE Preamp

Lector CDP7 vs Primare CD31
Do yourself a favor and save yourself a big headache and forget the Lector and Primare and buy a Prima Luna Prologue-8 all tube CD player. It will bury the Lector and Primare. For the price of $3K, it is an absolute steal delivering a performance ... 
Primare Pre30 vs. the Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE Preamp
Blindjim, the internal board work in the Pre30 and the STP-SE is remarkable. The Wyred 4 sound STP-SE has a power supply five times larger, 164K microfarads, than the Primare. The price is about the same especially when youconsider the fact the ST...

Do Spectron Amps have faulty switching modulators?
Audiofeil. I am not out to trash Spectron and like most,am well aware of their history since 1974. I am not a dealer or related to any company. One of the sources is a former Spectron retail dealer out of New York who dropped the line two years ag...
