Spectron vs any good tube amp.

Orpheus10,
In your tube experience, have you listened to SET's?

No, I've never listened to an SET, but I would like to. Theoretically, I think it should be the best; especially the 300B SET.

I hate to use "abstract" words and at the same time speak in scientific terms, but I have no alternative in this case. My scientific theory coincides with the word "soul". I listen for the "soul" of the music. This is something that's different than the "sound" of the gear.

"I listen for the soul of the music"
Amen brother. Orpheus10,I believe you`d really love a good 300b SET amplifier my friend.

I prefer the PX-25, 2A3, and 45 SET to a 300B whenever the speaker permits.

In the past I own McIntosh 2102 tube preamp and when I tried Spectron with my speakers (at that time WATT/Puppy 8) I felt much more musicality with Spectron and bought it and then another one and use them with my new speakers SASHA (its next generation of WATT/Puppy - mots power hungry) and all tube preamplifier Joule-Electra LA-300 and I am extremely happy.

I know that Enjoy The Music reviewer Wayne Donnely sent back his $50k Sigfried amplifierx back and use Spectron - and this guy attend weekly Chicago Philarmonic.

I can give you more examples but its all useless. Spectron provides free home trials why won;t you listen for yourself in your system with your firends etc.
