Spectron III SE vs. Signature III SE MK2

Hello Rydenfan,

If you would read all responses in this thread you will see that everybody who went from Mk1 to Mk2 are very happy.

You will have more transperency, more tight bass, more sweetness, more liquidity, more {full the blank}

Rkmcv - it was the Mk2 I tried before discussing with Simon at Spectron prior to buying the III SE sig. I was thinking of upgrading the Mk2 I had, but clearly the right decision was to go with the Mk III

Just to clarify,
Spectron Amps in the Muscian Series (I think)

Muscian II
Muscian III
Muscian III SE (Signiture Edition)
Muscian III SE Mk 2 the latest iteration released in April/May of '08.

Correct me if I am mistaken please.
I presume there is no Mk3 and
no Mk models for the Musician II

Radicalsteve, I think you had the Musician II
and now have the Musician III SE Mk2 by reading your comments on the sound.

and loving it

Question for any of you Spectron III MK2 owners;

How close before you hear any noticeable sound (hiss or any other)coming from your speakers when music is not playing.

My systems have always been dead quiet when using solid state, you would have to put you head right up close to hear anything which would be very faint.

Hello Dev,

With solid state or passive preamp - nothin' , nada, total silence. With tube preamp - yes, some tube hiss - but its aslo largely depends on the sensitivety of the speakers, age of the tubes etc and only when I put my ear to the tweeter (my speakers are B&W 802N) .

All The Best
