Spectron amplifier - new black faceplate?

New Recommended Fuses for Spectron Amplifier:
==============================================
As I promised a few days ago, I have just compared new Furutech fuses with HiFi Tuning treated by E-SST silver suspension. The result is very clear: The new fuses have small bit clearly noticeable advantage.

I listen to female voice, Spanish Guitar, Symphonic Music and Piano both left and right hands (piano is my instrument). With Furutech fuses there was more liquidity and delicacy as well as more palpable 3D presentation. With bass - I did not detected any significant changes I can be sure of.

So if you have already HiFi Fuses then it may or may not be worth for you to change your main Fuse (slow blow 10 AMP) to that of Furutech.

If on other hand you use stock fuses which are very good with silver wire, ceramic etc but not as good as HiFi Tuning then you will gain substantially by getting one main Furutech fuse.

I called and made arrangement with Brian Kyle of xtremecables.com (where I bought fuses for myself) to arrange a discount to Spectron owners. Brian kindly agreed If you buy them then for discount coupon write word "SPECTRON"

Finally, neither Spectron nor I personally gain financially in this recommendation and just provide it as a service to our customers

Thank you

Dear Simon,

What about internal fuses, is worth to repalce them for HiFi Tuning's as well?

Thanks.

Dear Guma15;

As most things in this hobby its the question of the budget. The rail (internal) four fuses effect music in lessen degree then one main fuse. So, if you want you can get better internal fuses four times the price of one main with about 20% improvment. I did it but others may choose to invest the same money (about $120 - $150) into other tweaks. For example, vibration control devices like Acoustic Revive QR8 for about $138 set of 8 or Aurious. set of 3 (about $200 - $250) to put under the amp will do more help in improving the system's sound.

Still, if you want to install better quality rail fuses then rather good stock please note: Fast Blow, 10 AMP, 1.25" size, 250v and Furutech does not have, at the moment, fast blow fuses. So it leaves only HiFi Tuning Fuses (as far as I know). A few years ago, I also made arrangments with Cable Company for discount for Spectron users. John Pharo is salesperson to get in touch rgarding HiFi Tuning Fuses.

Thank you

Dear Simon,

Thank you for your kind replay. I think I will go for HiFi Tuning fuses also internally. My both fully upgraded Spectons already seating on Herbie’s Audio Lab Iso Cup’s. If this tweak choice is the best I do not know but works.

Best regards,
Boris

Hi,

I bought Musician III SE Mk2 with Bybee and VCap upgrades -slightly used but in good shape. I am listening to it for a second day and for my WATT/Puppy the sound is better then with McIntosh 2102. May be in midrange tube amp slightly better may be its my imagination - so close they are both. I will get HiFiTune Fuses and that will settles it. However, overall sound - soundstage, imaging, dynamic range, bass - all is better with Spectron. Even highs are silkier - no question about it!

I will not buy 2nd amp. I am sure that two monoblocks are better then one stereo - however I am happy with what I have.

Thank you all for your advices
Mike
