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.

I have my III burning in 24/7 with my older "B" system right now. As soon as I hit around 400 hours I will put it into the main system, then I'll get back to you.

Glad to hear that you grabbed a slice of sonic nirvana with the MkIII. Just for comparisions sake, what other amps have you owned?

Thanks
The other amps I've owned: CJ Premier 11, Premier 11A, Orpheus Labs, Sonic Frontiers Power 2, ASR Emitter Exclusive Version Blue (still own), Granite Audio, Spectron Musician 2, Separo 300B, Counterpoint SA220, Counterpoint NPS 400, Arnov Stereo Tube, Kora Galaxy Tube, Mark Levinson 23.5, Sim Audio W5, CJ MF2300, Joule Electra Stargate tube amps, Agape 2A3, Fisher 500C, Holfi NBS, and a few others. I guess this kinda makes me an amp junkie?
Not really Darrell, just an "afflicted" audio-nut like the rest of us.

Good to see the list of what other amps you've owned as I am finally learning that the only way to tell if an "impression" or review (pro or otherwise) is worth considering, is by what other components one has owned.

Would be interesting to do a poll to see which of us nut cases has owned the most amps over the years. Seems to be (look at the thread count) the most often changed component in most peoples' systems.

My past amp affairs over the years (just for sh#*ts & grins);

Could you please tell me in what ways the Spectron III betters the Spectron II. I own the II and I'm thinking about getting the III.

Thanks
