That "using both a pre and amps dc-coupled is NOT at all a good match." is news to me. Spectral, at least in the past, only made DC coupled pre's and amps, as well as Atma-sphere, Krell, etc.. I suspect (for some time, it was srongly recommended) that Specratal would want their customers to buy and use their gear together. Some have argued that balanced, low impedance, direct-coupled designs have some advantages. Many DC couple designs use a servo-mechanism that would might offer greater protection from DC leakage than caps might provide. I'm sure SF knows what's best for their gear, but I sure would like to know the reasons behind SF's recommendation.
Change from Spectral
If I had to change my Spectral amps DMA100S1, due to the fact that they are DC-coupled and my pre SF Line3 is DC-coupled too, which other amp has the same character?
....or should I change the pre???
I have the Nautilus 801 and many people told me they are not a good match with Spectral.
