Question about Spectral DMA-100S amplifier


Can you use a different brand of preamp than Spectral for this amplifier? And if you can, is the result good or bad? Also do I have to use MIT interconnects and speaker cable?
royy
What would make you think it's not like most everything else on the market where you can mix and match forever?
Drew W:

Classic Spectral gear features an ultra-wide bandwidth design (from DC to 200 Mhz.) that must be used in all Spectral systems featuring networked MIT cabling that filters out certain types of RF and RFI to prevent the componentry from going into oscillation. Only recently have they started to offer a few components (e.g., a "universal" amplifier) that can be used with other components and non-MIT cabling.
Just to reinforce the point just made---This factor is why I have never ventured t'ward Spectral.---You pretty-much need to go all the way---or stay away.
