Spectron 3SE MK2 vs Wyred 4 Sound SX-1000 S Ii

Spectron Musician 3SE MK2 vs Wyred 4 Sound SX-1000 Series Ii.

I just received an email today from a former Spectron stereo owner who has just changed amps and gone with Wyred 4 Sound SX-1000 Series Ii mono blocks.

I have never heard of these before, an attachment was sent along with other users thoughts and of course a price list. What I read was all positive obviously but then I reviewed the list price, you could get a pair of their mono blocks for a fraction of the price of only one Spectron stereo amp.

Have any other Spectron users or other similar designed amps owners listened or done any comparisons.

Your thoughts.

I have not compared vs Spectron, but had PS Audio GCA 250 and W4S SX 500 monos. I now have a W4S MC 250/500. I just put a Tek Line Cable Reference power cord on it and am blown away. Also replaced a DH Labs Revelation with a PS Audio Transcendent Silver which warmed up the hi-freqs.

Meaning? W4S is cable sensitive!

The spectron is in a whole other league! If someone swapped a Spectron for a W4S, I'm sure they had other reasons than sonics. Or maybe the rest of their rig just don't reveal the better amp of the two.

Philefreak,

do you have first hand experience with these two products, can you be a little more elaborate regarding the differences than just saying "in a whole other league."
