Spectron Musician III - Can anyone comment on it?
Dear Ted,I missed something. I was not Sunday there. From the accounts of varios people - my understanding is that Mr. Bob Smith, designer of SP Technology speakers arrived Saturday night and re-arranged set up. Moreover, he uninstall $6k Synergis... 
Spectron Musician III - Can anyone comment on it?
Dear Ted,Thank you very, very much for all your help in set up of two Tweek Geek rooms. I truly appreciate your efforts.If I offended you somehow I deeply apologize.May be I also was too harsh on Mike Garner - he is very nice fellow but I stand be... 
Spectron Musician III - Can anyone comment on it?
Hello GuidoBoth rooms have different Modwright preamps.9007 had lower level 9.0 and room 1004 had higher level 36.5 Plus Spectrons in room 9007 were pure stock whereas in room 1004 they had expensive Bybee upgrade ($4k retail?). Still sound in 900... 
Spectron Musician III - Can anyone comment on it?
Hello David,"I heard the Spectron in monoblock configuration today at RMAF...."In what room??? It is extremely important as if you auditioned in room 9007 with Audio Analyses speakers then its OK (except low level Modwright preamp - 9.0).If you li... 
Spectron Musician III - Can anyone comment on it?
Argyro: I don't know if "we just listen differently and have different tastes" I think we both listen to standard edition of Musician III and we both agree that its highs were bad.With whom you disagree (and so do I) is with the reviewer of EnjoyT... 
Spectron Musician III - Can anyone comment on it?
Argyro: Actually, I agree with you. Standard Edition's highs were bad. Even in Nov 2006 TAS review of many class D amplfiers their all amplifiers highs were critiszed.However, in January 2008, Neil Gader of TAS wrote rave review of Musician 3 Sign... 
Spectron Musician III - Can anyone comment on it?
Hello Audiograils,I fully agree with you that Plinius is first class amplifier - one of the best there is. I owned a few. BAT is also very good amp - I have extensively auditioned VK600SE with a number of speakers. To my regret, I disagree with yo... 
Spectron Musician III - Can anyone comment on it?
Hello Argyro,Nobody doubt your sincerety. The two questions I ask are:a) did you hear standard, Signature or latest Mk2 - well broken-in or..... not andb) much more important question, we all respect Spectron for its "honesty" and I wonder if that... 
Placette linestage vs. Adcom 750 passive
Hello iSanchez,"I really don't know what or why it is, but in my system the Promitheus C-core TVC sounds amazing...."I think I know why: a) you are not deaf and b) you do not buy "Recommended Component" and c) the monoblocks take care of a few wea... 
Placette linestage vs. Adcom 750 passive
Hello iSanchez. I misspelled "Promitheus Audio" and you are correct - C-core improves. I had it - its great with Spectron monoblocks because you have enough bass and fantastic 3D sound stage - with other amps its good but its only sub $1k preamp..... 
Best amp under $6k, in your opinion?
Hello Perrew, Mk2 is the same Spectron in the sense of the speaker control. There are small improvments, of course - bass is tighter, faster - imaging is sharper.Where Mk2 shines its the midrange (and highs) - literally SET midrange - many people ... 
Best amp under $6k, in your opinion?
Regardless of room size, speakers etc - buy used Musician III (about $3k) - send it to Spectron for factory upgrade to Mk2 - $1.5k and for $4.5k total you have one of the best amps in the world. Problem is that used Musician III is soild within 24... 
Placette linestage vs. Adcom 750 passive
This garbage and that garbage. (Both have rave reviews I think).You need good passive preamp? - look transformer based - Promithoud, Bent(?) etcGood LuckRafael 
Holographic imaging
" the so called holographic imaging with many tube amplifiers an artifact? With solid state one only hears "holographic imaging" if that is in the recording, but with many tube amps you can hear it all the time. So solid state fails in this depart... 
Looking for Polarity Invert Feature...
Spectron Audio power amplifiers and pre-amplifiers have this feature on EACH CHANNEL separately - extremely usefulRafael
