Hello Nick,
How long you own your Spectron (with v-cap only its about $8.5k retail)? And how long you own your Bel Canto? It seems to me that your description of somewhat aggressive sound is clear characteristic of unbroken amp. Plus, if you put V-cap (or similar oil cap) upgrade into Bel Canto amp power supplies then tjeir highs will be much more liquid.
Did Spectron finally fixed your amp?
All The Best
