Praise for Spectron


i recently purchased a Spectron Musician 3 Mk 2 amp to replace my dearly loved atma-sphere rig and have been so impressed with the level of service that i thought i should post here for anyone that is considering a similar purchase. i haven't received the amp yet, so am not in a position to comment on the sonics, though i will report back in a few weeks with my impressions. simon at spectron has been extremely helpful, both on the phone and via email, always with an answer to the numerous enquiries I sent his way. he must work all the time, as seemingly regardless of day or time, emails are responded to quickly and thoroughly. he's a wealth of knowledge and all to willing to share his expertise.

i've no affiliation with the company whatsoever, just a very satisfied customer passing along my experience.

I have had my Spectron Musician III Mk2 with the Bybee filters and V-Caps a little over a month. I was looking for an amp to upgrade from a Bryston multi-channel. I wanted more power...must be in a small package and run cool...as it was going in a cabinet. My first intention was to get a SS amp to power my bass module and later add tubes up top. I ran across Spectron and saw they were selling direct...now they fit in my budget. After getting one and reading about mono's...the tubes are now out and I am saving for another Spectron. I knew this amp was more powerful than the Bryston...I did not expect what I heard immediately. A wider deeper sound stage...tons of detail even at low volumes. Not at all any sharpness..even when pushed. I just added a Joule Electra La150se tubed pre...what a match these two are to my VSA vr4-jr's.
The people there are very customer support oriented. I need once small repair and it was done "overnight!!!"

Also, the quality of equipment is superb. I still cannot undertsand why it is not praised as most expensive and best audio equipment we have on the market. I wish once to compare them tyo $50k Mark Levinson flagship, No 53..

I believe it is because Spectron is "digital" amp as all of us know "digital = bright" and other bulls...t

Their cables(both speaker cables and power cords) are also suberb, simply superb and cost 2-3 times less then similar in performance from traditional cables companies.

Matched with Joule-Electra preamp it is "audio heaven"

I don't believe all those dealers that got dicked by Spectron when the company decided to sell direct to the public at a more favourable price point would have any praise for Spectron.
