Reading this post is how I, just now, learned that Reno Hi-Fi closed up.  Mark was amazing!  The comments about his reputation and professionalism are unanimous.  He sold me some x-600 monos many years ago and it was one of the best large transac... 
Reliability of Dan D'Agostino equipment
I feel like amplifiers that get into the five and six digit range especially, should be covered by a warranty that’s longer than that of a vehicle. One of the brands that really stands out who put their money where their mouth is, is Bryston. A 20... 
New GaN Class-D poweramp from USA manufacturer Class-D Audio, Corona CA
It's actually a great sounding amplifier. I bought one for my Martin Logan's and really enjoy the sound and the size. If you're tired of lifting 100 lb monoblocks around the house, this thing is a powerhouse and weighs just a few pounds. My opinio...

Spectron Audio Out Of Business?
@geordidog  Bob,  Thank you for running over to Manh's place.  I almost went to work for John and wish that I had back then in 2009. I would have preserved his legacy.   I remember he was working on that 8000w design.  Maybe Manh is using it to la... 
Spectron Audio Out Of Business?
I knew John and Toni well.  Sad that they both passed away.  Then Simon took over and kept the business running.  Manh is our only hope for repair.  I cannot seem to reach him either.  So.... It sounds like most of us have MIII MKII amps and I ima... 
Marantz AV7701
I contacted Marantz USA Support today and explained the hum situation. I informed the rep about the various online forums where numerous consumers are experiencing this same issue. He casually said that "many pre-pros have hum". He recommended tha...

Spectron Musician III Questions
I am sure you can email someone at Spectron from the www.spectronav.com website and get photos. I own one of those amps and could take a few photos if you would like? I am not a pro photographer nor do I have a great camera though. 
Best amps for MBL101e's?
Chrisla,This may surprise you but I would suggest that you try the Spectron Musician III Signature before investing in Amplifiers in the $20000+ range. I currently own MBL 111E's and the Spectron after attempted pairing with almost a dozen more ex...

To: GuidocoronaPrior to the Enterprise Monos, I owned a Theta Dreadnaught II. I still maintain that the Dread II is one of the finest sounding and best looking solid state amplifiers ever made. I upgraded to the Enterprise Monos because I needed m... 
Review: Spectron Musician III Signature Edition Amplifier
Hello all! Sorry that I have been away from the fourms for awhile. My daughter was born about 14 weeks ago and takes priority. What I can say is that I too have experienced that the Spectron Musician III Signature definitely improves with at least...

Zaikesman/Eldartford, Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. Yes, I owned all of the amps I listed and used them all with my MBL Speakers. The digital amps I auditioned were, nuforce, bel canto and a few others. I am quite aware of the UcD/Hype...
