Hi all,
just registered to follow this section
I started my adventure with Spectral and I need to proceed step-by-step with the help of the experts in this brand.
I bought the DMA 200S2 after a selection of various amps, and it sound amazing with My Sonus Faber Elipsa Red (AKA Cremona Elipsa somewhere else) but I am conscious it is only the first step.
I also know for the best result MIT cables are recommended, I also learned by testing that other cable brands with sophisticate geometry are not the best with the DMA 200.
So... the starting system is:
Preamplifier McIntosh C2500 (internal dac) -> Cardas Clear rca signal cable -> DMA 200 s2 -> "normal" OFC spkr cable -> SF Elipsa.
Power cables are from Furutech.
The result is a lot of detail, live sensation, superb bass control. Not bad for a starting point.
Voices are IMHO perfect, escpecially female voices.
But of course the things can be better.
The sound could be more homogeneous, with a little warmth in the upper and lower bands, male voices seems to need a bit bass more.
Listened genres are Jazz , Rock , Electronica. I dont' listen classical music so much.
The budget is not infinite
My question is an idea of a path to follow, any suggestion is welcome, and any question too to better understand my system: which could be the first step, and the next ones ?
