Spectral SDR-3000
I'm interested in getting a Spectral SDR-3000 transport to pair with my MSB Analog dac.
Has anyone heard this combo before?
Regarding servicing, does Spectral still service this unit these days in case anything happens?
Lastly, do I need to use a MIT coaxial cable? I heard Spectral components are usually paired with MIT to avoid damage but wasn't sure whether that only pertained to their amps and preamps or does that apply to their digital components as well.
Thanks in advance!

I was able to locate and buy an SDR-3000. Took me a while to find one for sale. Its an SDR-3000SL which apparently has an upgraded power supply. Received the unit yesterday and hooked it up to my system. Sounds fantastic and everything that I imagined it to be. Will be enjoying this for the long haul. There is a huge difference between the Spectral and my old transport, the Sony XA7ES. The Spectral has a much wider soundstage, more separation and greater depth....just fantastic and couldn’t be happier with the purchase. Paired with the MSB Analog dac, it is musical bliss! |
jzzmn88Spectral SDR-3000 uses a VRDS CMK-2 mech. with KSS-151A Sony laser, be very careful that the laser is 100% as these KSS-151A’s are getting rare as rocking horse s**t to find new, and will cost an arm and a leg if you do find one. You can just get the laser diode for them, but to fit it so it's perfect, is hit and miss, and very fiddly. Cheers George |
