Thought on Spectral Audio's future?

I too have heard the same thing about the spectral equipment being fragile. I also know someone who has had problems with his DMA 260 and his spectral CD player. He said spectral is no longer repairing the older gear due to parts no longer available. I have a Spectral Preamp but hesitant to add their amp due to their reliability. I like the speed of the spectral and I’ve had no trouble with their preamp. The company scaled back production many years ago,  only 2 or three dealers.  Rumor has it that the owners don’t need the company to make money,  they do this because it’s their passion and hobby.  Doesn’t help us who need a company that will stand behind their product no matter how old it is. Properly setup they can sound fantastic tho. 

They still exist?

I'd be more than happy to take yours off of your hands.  A few upgrades and they sound fantastic.

I'll pay the shipping!

It’s sad to hear people are having trouble with the Spectral gear.

‘I purchase my Spectral system in 2012. I have Not had any problems with the gear. Preamp is a 30SS, power amps are DMA 360 mono blocks. I listen to my system everyday.

‘I do use all MIT power and interconnect cables. I have been using MIT cables in all my systems even before I purchased Spectral equipment. Purchased my first MIT interconnect in the 80’s. 
‘We are always trying to find cables that sound best with our equipment. Spectral recommends MIT cables. So that’s what I use. I have never had a problem with MIT cables. Yes they make very expensive cables but they also make reasonably priced cables. $2k - $10k.

Good luck to all.
