Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed?


I see at the Spectron site that they have released a Mark 2 edition of the Musician III SE. But there isn't any discussion of what has actually changed in the amp besides the price, which is now $7195 up from $6495. If anyone knows what the new changes are, I would really love to know.

As Simon stated, non audiophile engineers (which is most of them) are only interested in measurements and schematics and there is only one answer to one question they want to know: does it work? That's why those people have portable radios, ghetto blasters and other cheap (or antique) crap at home for hearing some music: they are not interested in high quality sound/music reproduction.
audiophiles are people who are not technique oriented (well, most of them are truly electronic nitwits like me) but they seem to be interested in some kind of high quality music reproduction. They even believe in unmeasurable things like musicality, warmth and "soundstage".
Simon is both an engineer and audiophile, so that makes his position a bit unique among the regular Audiogon forum participators :)

The fact that Kabir is not responding back is the proof that he is not interested in Spectron right from the beginning so you can't consider his comment on 05/18/08 as a serious one.

Often audiophiles are getting to concerned witn modifications. It's as if without the modifications they can't live any longer with their unmodified gear. This is ridiculous: an audio unit, be it an amplifier, CD-player or speaker should sound good or not very good from the beginning and they should remain that way, with or without modifications. If you are only satisfied with the sound after the unit has been modified, what is the reason for buying it in the first place then? I think it's weird if someone is buying a piece of audio just to let it modified first prior to listening. Or don't you agree with this?
