cvincent,
I'm using spectral dmc30ss + dma360s2, using 2 words borrowed from Jonathan Valin of the Absolute Sound, they sound airy and zingy. In my own words, they do not sound as articulate or as sweet comparing against some other products in the same price range, they sound fast and clean, without the tiniest hint of stickiness, so they may not fit everyone's taste. The downside, spectral requires the use of MIT cables (otherwise they won't honour the warranty).

I have no idea about used products, audiogon is a good place to start.

used 360 usually sells at just under USD10K on audiogon

hkkaho hing,

Seens your DMC-10 delta only suit for MC cartridges based on the loading resistors selection. I am afraid even you modify one step to 47K ohm but the gain may too high for MM cart.

thanks every c-hing,
it seems DMA360 is bit expensive to me.
do you have any idea about DMA200 ....

cvincent,
According to their specs, DMA 200 should be very similar to the 360s with very fast circuit. The channel isolation may not be as good because of it's stereo (instead of mono) configuration, power wise I believe 200 watts is more than enough unless you're driving extremely inefficient speakers.

Any C-hing can comment, if Mark pre can be matched with Spectral power amp? tks

請問有冇SDR-3000的用家可分享一點? 這部機的音色偏向等等!

或者, SDR-4000合併player, 是否弱d?

謝!

SDR3000 sounds very detailed although somewhat "see man".

Few talk about Spectral now, as its remote control pre amp already lost the level achieved by 20!

Power amps are still very good, particulalry the mono blocks!

They have to be matched with tailor-made MIT cables. Not a lie. Surf online and one can find some Spectral's caps were damaged when linked with some cables without the filters, as there is NO filters inside either its pre and power amps!

Newer/recent models do not have problems with "must use MIT" cables.

I prefer the sound of the older models then!

I used DMC 10, DMC 12 & DMA180 before, good sound, I also preferred their sound back then.

I used DMC-10, DMC-20, DMC-20II, DMA-200, DMA-180 & DMA-150II before, good & sweet & musical sound.

Their new preamp sound is more detailed but too fast & not as sweet/musical as before. Their new poweramps still very good.

The new SDR-4000 Reference CDP is excellent! It KO many other brands' top CDP & SACD players! Go to Sound Chamber to have a listen.

The one and only one Spectral Speakers in the world - and they are in Hong Kong

DMA-150S2

DMA-150S2

請問大哥大們：
1) 圖中的DMA-150S2不見火牛，是藏在PCB板最下層嗎？
2) Spetral的power amp是A/B類定A類？
3) 請問哪間二手商店最多Spetral的power amp賣？
4) 請教有冇師兄用Spectral推ATC的喇叭？

謝謝

x-factor,

There are 2 transformers located in an isloated lower compartment beneath the circuit boards.

It's AB but high baised so quite hot when in operation.

ATC speakers need more powerful high current poweramps than Spectral.

Fan Goh of Fei Fan in Central knows Spectral a lot! may call him & chat (25253389).

CK hing,

Thanks

Dear CK Hing,
Could you name some power amps. have higher current than spectral?
Thanks.
