Spectron Musician III - Can anyone comment on it?

Sashua,

Perhaps you should also consider two Spectron Musician III MK II in mono-block configuration. These amps in balanced mode have all the qualities you're looking for plus a lot more. There is more control, more finesse with a total absence of grain anywhere in the audio spectrum. There is that effortless sound while at the same time staying composed that only the best of the best can achieve.

IMHO, the Spectron amps don't sound like a typical digital amp, they just sound like great amps.

Total agreement with Isanchez.
I cannot speak for the MIII, however, I owned several linear amps, during these ownerships I never found any leaps and bounds between brands. In light of current technology, materials, craftmanship I am starting to feel that linear has maxed out it's design.
Spectron MIIIMKII plays like no other that I have heard. Linear or not.
Unlike me, you will save yourself thousands of dollars, sleepless nights, hours of concentration, weeks of unhappiness, your wife will not start to suspect that you may be having an affair with something else and above all enjoying your listening pleasures.
Like most of us, music is a pleasure that I take seriously us and you see what I mean.
Even if you buy these MIIKII new for the musical presentation that is delivered it is worth every dollar.

I do not have an ultra high end system like some of you other guys but the Spectron Musician III MK2 is part of it and I absolutely love it. Mono-block would be the ultimate along with all V-cap/Bybee upgrades. Don't know a thing about BAT amps but I am thinking about getting a BAT pre-amp just because the guy at Spectron loves them.

If you'll search you'll find a lot more discussion.

The Spectron Musician III Mark 2 is the most neutral yet musical amp I have ever owned (or heard). It has changed my approach to amplifier listening...I think John, Simon and gang have stumbled upon something that all but eliminates distortion anywhere close to an order of magnitude away from the hearing spectrum. Add to that an almost tube-like ease with which music flows. It's really something very special. And although it sounds glorious to me now, I've ordered a second amp to go monoblock and experience the nth degree of this phenomenon.

I'll report back on the monoblock upgrade value prop (prolly in a month or so).

My 2 channel system consists of tube-modded (Modwright) Transporter, Rega P5 vinyl, Modwright Denon 3910 tube -modded universal, Modwright LS 36.5 dual mono 2-box preamp, and it all drives a pair of very custom Mundorf-external-crossover'd SP Tech Revelation MR1 Mark III's. Cables are Syn Research tesla Accelrator SC's, Soundstring and SR XLR IC's and Stealth Nanofiber source IC's.
