anyone compared ASR emitter amp with Spectron ?

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!

Come on guy's you are comparing watermelon with a raisin just for fun go and check the prices on the used market here you will quickly notice that these are two very different products if i could find a ASR emitter anywhere close to 2k i would be willing to walk many many miles to pick it up and i am not in shape to walk and i don't like walking BUT FOR THAT PRICE I WOULD MAKE AN EXCEPTION.

I've heard them both, though not in the same system, and I feel comfortable saying they are not comparable in any way except music comes out of both of them. I'm pretty much resigned now that in this hobby for the most part you get what you pay for, especially as Mracoustat said, on the used market.
