I really like spectral preamps and amps. What else should I try that has similar bling-bling, ie clarity, speed, and pristine soundstage? I am running Audio Physic Virgo II's, my front end is a Naim CD-5. thanks.......Mark
Also you might want to add the Edge amplifiers to your list - Spectral is the only thing that perhaps comes close to Edge (according to HP), and Edge has clarity, speed, ... and finesse....something very, very few amps have ... in spades. Soundstaging is almost always best with monoblocks.
Belles 250i Integrated,vacuum tube preamp section [1 tube], separated power supply,sound is what your looking for,I don,t think it has an equal at 5 times the price. The only amp I like better is the $35,000 YBA.
Edge=ugly wedding cake amp. Some of the poorest industrial design I have ever seen. With looks like that, a price tag no sane person would countenance, one would seriously hope that it sounds good. In fact, one would seriously hope that it transcends the laws of physics. Good luck Edge! At least Spectral looks solid and serious. Maybe there is more to blind testing than meets the eye?
