| Spectral amp choice+ Eidolon Hi, I have a pair of Avalon Eidolons in a Spectral, MIT system. I have been using a Spectral DMA-250 amp, 30SS preamp, with MIT Oracle V1.1 cables, etc. Prior to the 250 amp I used a pair of 360 S1, 150 S2 with the Eidolons. Before the Eidolons I ... | |
| Spectral 30SS preamp I upgraded from a 30SL GEN ONE to the 30SS. After 300 plus hours or two weeks, the unit starts to open up. I ran the audio out of my Plasma set box through the 30SS 24/7 and the CD player in another input. After 1500 plus hours I feel the 30SS is ... | |

| Spectral DMA 180 Questions Rumba,If you are using the matching MIT V2.1 rca int with switchable impedance networks,(V1.1,2.1,3.1 etc). I found the 150S2,180S1 and 250 sounded best in the medium position,(40-100k). The 150,180 and 250 per Spectral have a 100k input impedance... | |
| Spectral DMA 180 Questions Elberoth2,The use of a Spectral preamp is not mandatory with the S series of universal amps, 160s, 250s and 360s. They have a input buffer. Running a standard Spectral amp without a Spectral preamp can lead to amp stability issues per Spectral. Th... | |

| Spectral DMA 180 Questions I agree with Joe on Spectral amp choices with the DMC-15. I would add to the list a DMA-150 series 2,(used $3000-$4000). My own history with Spectral amps includes the DMA-100 class A, 200, 180 series one, 150 series 2, 360 monos and now the DMA-2... | |
