Believe Leo is referring to the new - just released - stereo ampI have one - very happy - up from a 30sl
Yes i'm aware of the recommended use of MIT cables with Spectral gear, that's not really a problem as Spectral dealers do carry the cables.
The only problem is that there is no dealer where i live, i would have to go to Italy for an audition.
I'd say this mostly goes back to how the amps are driven, MIT cables vs not, and whether they are all ventilated as instructed.
As prescribed, the only problems I've had over 25 years is caps having to be replaced in the SDR-2000 DAC due to heat buildup, and a tweak to a CD transport (a ~$10 part). The list of problem-free equipment here includes about 7 preamps, 7-8 amps, and the SDR-3000SL transport. All in all, I have probably spent less than $1000 in repairs and shipping. I would call Spectral the MOST reliable brand I've ever had, and in fact, extremely reliable in the long run. They are meant to outlive the owners, when used as prescribed. FWIW, FM Acoustics is also in the same league.
Do you also use MIT power cords in your Spectral system ?
