    Barclay Digital - the biggest scam of the 90s ?

    This reminds me of an article I came across regarding the Theta Universal Transport from the 90's: http://lampizator.eu/LAMPIZATOR/REFERENCES/THETA%20Universal/theta.html Basically it was an entire Philips player housed in a Theta shell. What a scam! The same author (designer of Lampizator...

    Spectral SDR-3000

    LOL. You don't have to worry about me when it comes to new Spectral components. No way I can afford it! Only looking at used and even then, probably will start with a preamp, then an amp later on... In the meantime, been reading all I can on the company, the vision of Richard Fryer and design...

    Spectral SDR-3000

    Thank you Ack! Thoroughly enjoying it. The Spectral is the most well built component I have come across in quite some time. Makes me want to pursue the whole Spectral line up now :D

    Spectral SDR-3000

    Thank you so much for the offer guys, but I am planning on keeping this for awhile. However, I will definitely keep this in mind if I ever decide to sell in the future!

    Spectral SDR-3000

    Thank you all for the kind words! The dealer had listed the unit without the "SL" designation so when I unboxed it yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised to find the SL, even though I had no idea what that meant. I feel very fortunate to have found one. Ack, thank you for your thoughts on a...

    Spectral SDR-3000

    Well I was able to locate a SDR-3000! Bought it from a dealer in Florida that deals in used high end equipment, so while not an official Spectral dealer, this was the next best thing. Plus this was the only one I could find for sale. Probably paid more than I should have but overall I'm happy...

    Spectral SDR-3000

    Interesting that you posted that link because its that very article that I learned about this player! Well, I suppose you and I are in competition with one another to look for a unit :) Seriously though, thank you for the info. Its been very helpful.

    Spectral SDR-3000

    I just called Spectral and they did confirm that they still service these units. That's great to know. The lady I spoke with cautioned I buy one that has not been modified as they will not work on any modded units. This all confirms what Ack said earlier about being careful where I purchase this...

    Spectral SDR-3000

    Asiufy, thank you for the comment. I had considered the MSB UMT but since I had just spent a fortune on purchasing the Analog dac, my wife would kill me if I spent another fortune on the UMT :D However, I agree, the UMT/Analog pair would be ideal. Maybe I should save up and wait. Also, I...

    Spectral SDR-3000

    Thanks for your response and info Ack. Its great to know these units are built to last a lifetime but can still be serviced if needed. These rarely pop up on the market so will have to bide my time looking for one.

    Spectral SDR-3000

    Hi all, First post and am interested in getting a Spectral SDR-3000 transport to pair with my MSB Analog dac. I'm thinking these will pair nicely but has anyone heard this combo before? It is my understanding that Spectral components are very well built but in case it does need servicing...
