USHER BE-20 + Spectron Musician III MK2
Hello Natty,I understand your concern. Better power supply filtering just clean music's highs and midrange from all kind of garbage electrical current brings with it even with best power conditioners. It should not add or subtract anything.Berylli... 
Spectron Remote Sense Cable
Hello Wadav,In about 10 days, we will send newsletter to Spectron amp owners (specifically, to whom we have e-mail addresses) where we will explain more regarding our latest Remote Sense cables. One question I will answer here. I myself own and us... 
USHER BE-20 + Spectron Musician III MK2
Hello Natty,To answer properly we have to go into rather specific details of these components and I do not believe that this is wide knowledge, so let me try to answer your question(s):1 Joule-Electra is reality is NOT pure single ended preamp. Th... 
Spectron Remote Sense Cable
Hello Guma15,Finally, I can answer your question and my apologies for the delay. We recently introduced next generation of remote sense cables. See description here -http://spectronaudio.com/remotesense.htm. We are producing them for a few months ... 
Spectron amplifier - new black faceplate?
Hello Steve,For explanation - look a few posts above, my post of 07-23-09. Our 7kW peak power monoblocks cover B&W803N nicely - every speaker with more difficult load will experience more and more clipping and other distortions. You noted it b... 
Spectron amplifier - new black faceplate?
Hello Lee,It is not big deal to create hugely powerful amp. Just place biggest transformers you can find into power supply, give bazzilion farads filtering capacitors and place into output stage hundreds of FETs , for example (plus heatsinks and f... 
Spectron amplifier - new black faceplate?
Hello Steve,You are absolutely right. Furutech fuse brings a bit of "effortless" presentation [ as I observed in my own system] and the degree of it would depends on your speaker impedance behaivor (phase in particular) and if you use one or two a... 
Sound card suggestions
" I am looking for a good sound card with s/pdif output for stereo playback..."Look at RME Hammerfall DSP 9632 soundcard. ( http://www.rme-audio.com/english/hdsp/hdsp9632.htm ) The RME, a 192kHz-capable DAC, provides output to both the analog and ... 
Spectron amplifier - new black faceplate?
Hello Koiman,We have three reviewers who have our amplifiers for their examination. One review is ready and will be published very soon in Positive Feedback, second one - I just this morning read proofread and 3d one I don;t know yet.By tradition ... 
Spectron amplifier - new black faceplate?
Thank you Bill. I love stereomojo review, specifically:"Recently, a friend of mine bought a new car – a Bentley Continental GT.....engine was silent and silky smooth and provided the sensation of taking off in 747... That is how I would describe l... 
Is too much power in an amp really a problem?
Dodgealum,The power as engineering term is the product of voltage and the current and thus you must control both, separately. It is my opinion that rated continius power into specific load (e.g. 100 wpc into 8Ohms) is almost totally meaningless si... 
Spectron amplifier - new black faceplate?
Hello RadicalSteve,There is no leakage. It is E-SST silver suspention for better conductivity. Perhaps, production gave it a bit too much... its fine.Hello Boris,So you comparison was between HiFi Tuning rail fuses and ACME Audio (also ceramic) fu... 
Spectron amplifier - new black faceplate?
Hello Boris,Actually you are correct. About 8 months ago, I helped to introduce, in Spectron amps, ceramic silver Audio Acme internal (rail) fuses because four-five HiFi Tuning were way too expensive and people who wanted them could upgrade their ... 
Joule Electra or Wolcott Tube Amps, or...?
Hello John,Efficiency of your MBL speakers has little effect on the performance of Joule-Electra power amps (if they are sufficiently powerful that is). The impedance behavior is much more important. I would suggest 2 Ohms as the limit for Joule-E... 
Spectron amplifier - new black faceplate?
Dear Guma15;As most things in this hobby its the question of the budget. The rail (internal) four fuses effect music in lessen degree then one main fuse. So, if you want you can get better internal fuses four times the price of one main with about...
