Spectron Musician III MK.2 or Audio Research DS450

Audiozen,

Thanks for your feedback,

Despite the tech and mods on any of these brands, do you still consider W4S is the best choice sound wise?

Glen from 6 moons said that he consider the W4S is a cooler sound than the D-sonic and Jeff Dorgay claims that New Clear is beyond the mAmps of Wyred4sound...there is where iam hesitating.

Butb actually as iam going to purchase both W4S DAC2 SE and STP-SE preamp, match would do a pretty important synergy, right?

Miguel. If you want warmth and richness, here's what I would recommend. Don't buy Class D. If its for convenience
I can understand. Buy the Parasound A21 amp from Audio Advisor for $ 2300.00 and the Wyred4Sound STP-SE. You will
have a match made in heaven. The Parasound is now available in black. Its heavy and very powerful and will give much greater musicality than Class D. It is the best amp on the market in its price range. Its a John Curl design. He has always been a better amp designer than a Preamp designer.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions, very thankful

I am an 80´s and 90´s guy who loves music more like Rush, The Police, Sade, Bowie, Sting, Ac/DC...Rock, heavy, jazz, Pop, latin, New age (Andreas Vollenweider) and so, its kind of very mix but i don´t hear any classical at all.

Considering my style of music do you prefer the Parasound above any of the Class "D".

Klaus from Odyssey was giving me a deal on his Kismets in Stratos cases with all his upgrades for $3,500 pair of monos, any thoughts?

Thanks again for your kind help man.

All the best

The Kismet is a damn good amp based on the review's I've read. Handsome looking too with those four chrome corner pillar's and that velvet looking black face plate. 160 watts per side. Heavy at 60 pounds a piece. The Parasound peaks at 300 amperes from both channels which is a helluva lot of current. What speaker's are you using or plan to use?

Pound for pound...I would go for the Parasound given John Curl's reputation for the past 40 years. The review of the A21 in England seems to be more positive and accurate.
HiFiPig and Hi-News reviews love the amp describing it as very
natural, organic, and very smooth with outstanding bass and soundstage and imaging. Its a steal for $2300.00
