Rkmcv - it was the Mk2 I tried before discussing with Simon at Spectron prior to buying the III SE sig. I was thinking of upgrading the Mk2 I had, but clearly the right decision was to go with the Mk III
How close before you hear any noticeable sound (hiss or any other)coming from your speakers when music is not playing.
My systems have always been dead quiet when using solid state, you would have to put you head right up close to hear anything which would be very faint.
With solid state or passive preamp - nothin' , nada, total silence. With tube preamp - yes, some tube hiss - but its aslo largely depends on the sensitivety of the speakers, age of the tubes etc and only when I put my ear to the tweeter (my speakers are B&W 802N) .
No hiss here...I own a Musician III SE Mark 2. It has a slight tick in the left channel upon turn on, but it's a moot point (no pun intended) cuz I run it 24/7, aside from the occasional power cord swap, etc. Never heard the Mark 1 though; this was a brand new mark 2 that I demo'd and bought the demo.
