@ptss , The first piece to sh-t a brick was a DMA 180. It fried itself and had to be sent back to the factor and rebuilt. 5 years later it did the same thing but this time off warrantee. I do not know the exact number but you can give it a guess. |
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. |
Greetings 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. Good luck to all. |
