Spectron amplifier - new black faceplate?

Hello Koiman,

We have three reviewers who have our amplifiers for their examination. One review is ready and will be published very soon in Positive Feedback, second one - I just this morning read proofread and 3d one I don;t know yet.

By tradition or is it by law - we cannot disclose the name of reviewer(s) and quote the review in question publicly.

I can say only that I , personally like what I read.... Also, we do not solicit reviews (at least last couple of years) and all reviews come from the reviewers who requested samples for the review or wrote based on their own Spectron amplifier(s)

As much as I love (good) reviews nothing can substitute personal experience and we are discussing to introduce a "demo" amp which we can send to [serious] audiophiles.

Thank you.

Reviews don't mean a thing. Sometimes, I wonder what these reviewers were smoking when they review a product. It is foolish to buy based on a reviewers point of view, and I have done my fair share of buying on impluse. I have grown wiser, my friends. A reviewers taste is his or her taste, not mine. We all know many companies send out freebies to these reviewers.

Spectron could be the GREATEST AMP on the face of the earth, but it is not for me; I am not saying it is a bad product, it just did not meet my taste.

Reviews do mean a lot !!!! If I am looking for the amp - I can't auditioned all available on market - Only what my local dealer has (and he dos not have much). Reviews help immensely to narrow options to educate about company, engineering approach, some weaknesses etc.

Ajackson1 - you even wrote me privately with advise not to believe this or that A-goner, nor to buy Musician etc.

Well, I bought used one - with condition that if I will not like it I will return - .... but I liked it and I did not return. As a matter of fact I LOVE it! Very close to some very good valve amplifiers in midrange and simply the best everywhere else.

The more time I use this amp the more I love it. I think I will save some money and trade-up this one for the pair of monoblocks, people are saying that midrange became much, much better not to mention dynamics and I believe them.

to Spectron Audio - great job, guys. Thank you.

haha had that coming

Michael,
I feel the same as you the more time goes by the better it sounds, and the better I like it. Mine only has about 300 hrs. on it at this time.
