Can the Spectrons be bridged? As a switching amp, I would think that it is already operating in a bridged mode. This can be checked by (with power off and speakers disconnected) taking an ohm meter and measuring if there is continuity between the 2 channel's low side (Black) terminals. If they are not tied together then it is already in bridge mode. Bridging allows for 2x the voltage to the speaker but no increase in current compared to amps that have the low terminal at ground. Bridged amps (especially switching ones) usually have only 1 (positive) power supply while non-bridged amps have 2 (1 positive V and 1 negative V) supplies that are equal magnitude volts.
Spectron Musician 3 First Impressions?
I just installed my Spectron Musician 3 into my system. I had a 2A3 amp powering 96db Epiphany 12/12s. Out of the box, ice cold, the Spectron was incredible! The tonality was spot on with the 2A3 tube amp! The harmonic structure was 85% of the tube amp, and this was with less than 4 hours on the Spectron! The Spectron bettered the 2A3 in 3 major ways: 1.) Increased detail with no loss of sweetness 2.) Deeper bass with more control, 3.) Both micro & macro dynamics! Spectron says it takes 3-4 weeks of 24/7 at medium volume before the amp sounds its best. Has anyone else had a chance to listen to this incredible amp?????
