| Spectral DMA 200 I have a copy of a copy of the Spectral DMA-200 Operation and Maintenance Manual. Some guy in Germany was kind enough to send me a copy when he was selling his amp. There is NO wiring diagram, just 11 pages of words. I can send it to you or try to... | |
| Class A amplifiers I have a Spectral DMA 200 that sounds wonderful driving a pair of Magnepan 1.6's. I have tinnitus so I can't hear the cooling fan. And yes, it helps keep the room warm in winter. Not bad for a 34 year old amplifier! | |
| What Is The Most Romantic Song That You Have Ever Listen To? I forgot to add this gem...Keep Me Warm - Cliff Richard | |
| What Is The Most Romantic Song That You Have Ever Listen To? Oh my, what a neat question to ask and answer! There are sooo many to choose, but I'll limit to just a few that give me goose bumps...1) Without You - Harry Nilsson2) I Want Your Love - Anthony Phillips(former Genesis)3) Kathy's Song - S & G4)... | |
| Audio Repair Tools Thanks for all the suggestions. I should have been more specific. The filth is not so much on the circuit boards but mainly behind and in the hard-to-get-to corners of the amp casing. I can see it with a flashlight but I can only barely touch it w... | |

However, if your guest has little or no appreciation for high end sound (like ... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? Blu-Tack re-usable adhesive. If you liked play-doh you'll love this stuff. Maybe OK for posters but not for speakers as advertised in a mid-fi catalog. | |
| Favorite band or artist of all time? Anthony Phillips, his early stuff to include the Private Parts & Pieces series. | |
| Discontinued equipment that you wish were still here. What do you miss or think will miss? The Spectral DMA-200. The FRONT handles are a work of art. Any A-goners out there willing to cough up a DMA-200, dead or alive??? | |
| BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER It used to be Karen Carpenter. Now, it's Alison Krauss. Alison's voice comes across sweet, clean and clear on "Now That I've Found You" and "I Can Let Go Now". Also, listen to "It Doesn't Matter". Her voice keeps me spellbound! | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. I'm not a big fan of Stevie Wonder nor the song Isn't She Lovely, but Livingston Taylor did an incredibly sounding remake on Ink (Chesky Records). He converts it from Motown to a smooth, easy acoustic jazz sound. The sound from his acoustic guitar... | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. OK, I may get some negative feedback for this but here goes...As much as I like S & G's Sound of Silence, the sound from the harp guitar rendition by Jamie Dupuis is haunting. Check it out on Youtube... | |
| Spectral DMA-400 Monoblocks You're probably right. Thanks. | |
| Spectral DMA-400 Monoblocks On second thought, maybe it's just the wreath they're after:-) | |
| Spectral DMA-400 Monoblocks Makes sense assuming that one has had a chance to listen and compare or simply choose to go with the flow... |
