| Spectral DMA 180 Questions Someone buy that man a tube! | |
| Spectral DMA 180 Questions Bozo,Thanks for the response, preamp compatibility is is not an issue, since I'm currently using a spectral preamp, the DMC 15, and the right interconnects. The mccormack is just a phono pre that feeds the spectral pre. | |

| Soldering 101 for Audiophiles I think this thread is a great resource for someone like me starting to solder.I'm glad cwoldon asked the question. I started watching the tangent video, read everything here, and I feel I'm much better about soldering. | |
| Question about Spectral DMA-100S amplifier McCormack TLC was compatible with spectral, or so I remember a spectral dealer whispering into my ear | |
| Spectral DMC 20 Series 2 vs, Spectral DMC 30 SL? I auditioned the 15 vs the 20 and went with the 15, no contest. I think the 30 was similar to the 15, but more $$$ and remote. | |
| Advice on Spectral amps and preams wanted Spectral products are outstanding, and there does seem to be a synergy between the amp and preamp. I have the DMA 50 (purchased for less than $1000) and the DMC 15. Between the DMC 15 and 20, go with the 15 if it's in the budget. DMC 15 was smooth... | |
| What pre amp matches the McCormack DNA 0.5 I've had the best luck with Spectral. The DMC 12, 20 and 15 all worked well. I listened to passive contral, as well as audio research and Spectral was the best fit | |
| Which is the best preamp for my amps. I've always loved spectral. and a used dmc 12 or 20 can be had for not much $$. the new dmc 15 is to die for. | |
| Advice Pls: Tact v PS Audio v Spectral I find the Spectral equipment to be very effective and reasonably priced (relatively speaking, of course) - I've never heard it with Soundlab, but have with Martin Logan, and it was the best I'd heard on Martin Logan. I don't know what the Sound L... | |
| What active preamp... Consider a used Spectral DMC 12 or DMC 20, if it can be had that cheaply. I've seen used 12's for around $1500 before, used 20's for somewhat more. I compared these to my purest sound systems passive control unit, and they were more revealing, not... | |
| Non fatigueing speaker under 1500 I heard the Proac 1.5's with solid state - McCormack, and they were much harsher than the Thiel 1.6's I was comparing them to. So, I would be hesitant to classify them as non-fatiguing with solid state. The 1sc's with tubes, though, that can be a ... | |
| Anyone hear Thiel CS1.6? I'll pipe in here, I've got a pair of the 1.6s, and I've listened to them in several setups. I've had them for 6 months. 1. They're extremely sensitive to sources, amplification and cables. This can't be overstated. I've heard good things with spe... | |
| Spectral DMC 12, 20 or 30 preamp? Bear,Is the split passive RIAA a phono only concern?Schubertmaniac,I've listened to the DMC 12 vs the ARC LS3 and the Purest Sound systems in my system, and the DMC 12 is a big improvement, even with the Arcam front end. Bass has more impact and c... |
