anyone compared ASR emitter amp with Spectron ?

Dob, have you owned either of the amps in question? Your reply suggests not yet you decided to offer an opinion anyway. I suggest mine was actually a bit more relevant.

I do own Spectron and know it rather well However, I have not owned or auditioned Emitter so I was careful enough NOT to offer any opinion or comparison of their sonic sonics - this why you did not even recognized that I know one amp at least. I did compare what I could based on the review e.g. prices, stated power etc. I think its limited, of course, but fair. Was it helpful? I will leave it to original poster and certainly not to you.

My previous post, you refer to, is just is a joke of YOUR statement [ and has nothing to do with OP] that while you did not hear specific amp in question you can make SONIC opinion based on your exprience with... other amplifiers where is only one common thing among them: class of operations.... e.g. "light trucks" You should not do it in the fuiture.

I still put some stock in my educated guess that the Spectron *does* have some traits in common with other class D amps - especially considering the feedback I've heard, which jives with that. The Emitter is a truly world-class amp, on the other hand. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. :) In any case, the OP should really seek out auditions, of course.

I think you should lighten up a little bit too.

Thanks guys so far.

I know it's kind of different products but I have an opportunity buying a used ASR while I always think about trying a spectron on the other hand. In Israel where i live I don't have many options auditioning hiend stuff so I usually buy based on opinions (and so i'm stuck with 3 preamps and 2 amps :).
I currently use a Pass 250 but I think that it's low input impedance limits my spectrum.I have tried before class D (JRDG 201) but I think the Pass 250 is richer and more dynamic.

Dob, I had a thought: since the Emitter uses an opamp input stage, it too is a "chip amp" of sorts (complete with massive amounts of feedback, though in a very fast local loop). Heck, you're right, the Spectron may well sound just as good. I wouldn't know!
