Spectron Musician 3 First Impressions?

I am using the Egglestons Works Fontaine II - 89db.

Here is from review of Don Shaulis in Stereo Times:

"Some would describe the Spectron as “tube-like”. Tube fans would cry—No! The operative word here is “like”. While the Spectron does not have the full bloom (or exaggeration) of tube amplifiers, neither does it have the dry and clinical presentation of many solid-state amplifiers. What it does have is a well-balanced and even presentation with engaging warmth. I think of it as a neutral presentation with a smile. The top end is extended but not edgy or harsh. The middle range is full-bodied, detailed, and intimate. At the lower end there is power and control for remarkably solid, well-defined bass slam as well as the finesse to define an upright bass with all its subtleties and nuances. I found the soundstage to be spacious and deep but clearly defined and reflective of the respective recordings.

The Spectron virtually carves audio scrimshaw at all octaves while providing the power to drive difficult speaker loads with exceptional dynamic range. But dynamics without control is just “noise”. For all the dynamics displayed by the Spectron, it never ran wild or became harsh. It exhibited absolute control over my speakers where other amplifiers failed. I never experienced listener fatigue (if you don’t count the sleep lost by listening to more music instead of going to bed)."

I feel that this reviewer put in words exactly what I feel.
All The Best,
Rafael

Excellent description of the Spectron soundprint Rafael. . . This is exactly what I heard last fall at Steve Chang's place (Schang) in Denver. Reviews such as this one corroborate my opinion that. . . NOT ALL SWITCHING AMPS ARE DESIGNED/BUILT ALIKE!

I will be taking a delivery on a Musicain III SE within a week or two. Regarding the tweaks available out there in the market place...does anyone have experience with one of the following "packages?"
(1) Walker Audio SST and HFT fuses
(2) Extreme Audio Quicksilver Gold and (4) HFT Fuses
(3)HFT Fuses
I guess the nature of the audiophile is to always be looking for ways to make the best even better, which is a respectable goal...to a point.

Mdrummer01, put 2 or 3 hundred hrs on the Mus 3 before you start fiddling with tweaks. . . or you will never know if your tweaks are effective or not. Before fiddling with tweaks, it may also be a good idea to check with Simon Thacher at Spectron for advice.
