Classicjazz. I just sold my system which was a Pass Labs X-1 Pre and a pair of Nuforce 9SE MK.2's and a top of the line Denon CD player, and a pair of Camber 3.5ti speakers. I'm in the process of moving and will be buying a Spectron Musician III MK.2 Amp with upgrades and a pair of Acoustic Zen Crescendo speakers. Talked to Larry Diaz at High End Heaven and he stated the smoothest, richest and the warmest solid state Preamp on the market is the Vitus SL-010. Picking the right Preamp is absolute surgery.
Spectral Preamps better than Accuphase Preamps?
I am down to two choices to purchase a Preamp. Spectral or
Accuphase. I need opinions since their is no dealers in my area to listen to these pieces for comparison. A friend of my had a Spectral DMC-10 I believe was Demian Martins last design before Johnson took over. Very tube like sound. Smooth, laid back and warm. Very rich sound. I read that Accuphase has such a warm, smooth rich character which I prefer, but the Spectrals are faster. Do the current Spectral Pre's retain the character of the pieces designed
by Martin years ago, or are the current designs by Johnson
over kill in detail but lacking their classic smooth character?
