Do Spectron Amps have faulty switching modulators?


I'm in the process of buying the new Musician 111 MK.2 ultra
with the upgrades but have been told by several Audiophiles
that their modulators are not reliable and break down suddenly. If this is true, is that a current problem or with
previous generation amps?

You've been told this by several Audiophiles??? I have no idea who those people are but as an owner for some two years I can tell you I have never had a reliability problem with my Spectron amps. Mine switch on, make music, and generally are about the most fuss-free components I've known in 20 years in this hobby.....maybe I am not an Audiophile.
I've had mine for a year..no prob's. I read as much as I could find before purchasing it and never read anything about switching modulators. Worse thing I ever read was some people are miffed that they are now ID. But in todays amrket that is where things are headed.
I own two monoblocks for a few years now (one was purchased used) and I never had any problem. I enjoy immensely these amps (w/Joule-Electra preamp) driving my new power hungry Sasha by Wilson.

I am sure that some amplifiers failed here and there - in exact manner as other well established amp did. Its obvious.

The REAL question must be: what was a customer service? Did they hold this amp(s) months and months, did not answered e-mails and phone calls ? Were unresponsive etc?

From my own experience, Spectron has one of the best customer service around. Cetainly much better then most I encountered.
