Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed?

I don't think the guy meant any harm in his words about what's better about the newer version as opposed to the most recent one. I at some point will be buying a new system. I am fascinated by good sound from good systems. I am also partial to very good sound for the fraction of the cost of 100k plus systems. I have no affiliation to Spectron. I've never heard the amplifier. But I have talked to them on the phone and find them very helpful as far as knowledge and their perspective of good sound and doing their best to replicate the sound of a live the event or recordings. As I inch closer to buying my second system, I plan to audition this amp. I never really considered a class D amp in my system but based on the reviews and owners of this amp..I have to consider it on the list. I think one owner of this amp mentioned that he had dreams of owning 40k MBL amps and was very happy with the Spectron. I happen to love the sound of MBL and heard them at the RMAF with Kharmas Midi. I thought the rooms sound was amongst the best at the show. For those people who would even consider being happy with the spectron says a lot about the quality of this amp.

Kana813,

Thanks for letting us know about it. It looks like this is a very comprehensive upgrade and the fact the the M3SE can be upgraded to MKII is certainly very welcome.

That wasn't really so difficult, in the end, was it? Improvements in I/O stages, upgraded parts, better output wire, re-engineered power switching, and a new custom cap in the filter. And of course the weak dollar and higher commodities, all leading to a price increase.

Hello Oofer,

When we were ready (and not earlier!) - we send announcement of the release of new product to Audio Circle (manufacturer's section) and Audiogon-Industry Info - where its more appropriate to announce new products rather then in the middle of discussion thread.
To my regret Audiogon still did not posted this "Industry News" into Industry News but you can see it in Audio Circle

Regards.
Simon
