Spectron Musician 3 First Impressions?

I just installed my Spectron Musician 3 into my system. I had a 2A3 amp powering 96db Epiphany 12/12s. Out of the box, ice cold, the Spectron was incredible! The tonality was spot on with the 2A3 tube amp! The harmonic structure was 85% of the tube amp, and this was with less than 4 hours on the Spectron! The Spectron bettered the 2A3 in 3 major ways: 1.) Increased detail with no loss of sweetness 2.) Deeper bass with more control, 3.) Both micro & macro dynamics! Spectron says it takes 3-4 weeks of 24/7 at medium volume before the amp sounds its best. Has anyone else had a chance to listen to this incredible amp?????

Note: I am not affiliated with Spectron.

Chris, your suggestion is somewhat similar to what I suggested to Simon. . . upgraded internal components, bridging to mono via switch (can't degrade sound any more than 'Y' pigtail on speaker wires)(, upgraded metal-work.

OK, I say.

Just slam it with the power it deserves.

20 amp circuit and then power from your favorite PC.

You tell me.

I just got my Musician III SE and wow what can I say right out of the box compared to my BAT VK60 I used before ! I was so concerned about lossing the liquid mid, high and holographic imaging that BAT are well know of. But after I switched to the M3SE, I notice I am not loosing any of these but improved upon on all round. Of course, I do not have to mention anymore on the bass improvement.
Simon said, there may be an upgrade option in the future to upgrade to Vcaps just like the power pac upgrade option provided by BAT for their amp and preamp equipment. I am looking forward to see this will become available in the near future. May be more people showing interests to Simon for this option will make this come sooner !
