Spectron Musician III Signature Edition Mk2 w Bybee, VCaps and premium fuses
This astonishing amp is simply the best power amp I have had or heard. I have had the pleasure of owning many really terrific amps (Accuphase, Audiomat Prelude Reference, Bel Canto, Bluenote Demidoff Signature, Electrocompaniet, Gryphon Callisto, Maker Audio, NuPrime, Odyssey Kismet, Pathos Reference TT, Primare A34.2, QUAD Platinum, Red Rose Model 5, to name a few), and this is the best. I am out of space and am reducing my "audio footprint", hence the sale.
At one of the first CES conventions that I attended, I met a fellow who had a small booth against the rear wall. His name was John Ulrick. His product was something called a Class D power amplifier. I had no idea how it worked, because I had not heard of Class D. He explained some of the inner workings, but what most impressed me was how powerful it was, and yet, how relatively small its chassis was. He explained that, mainly, this was due to its amazing efficiency. Regular Class AB amplifiers are about 70% efficient, while Class D amplifiers are about 95% efficient. This means that if you are playing music that demands 200 watts per channel output using a stereo Class D power amplifier, the amplifier is only drawing 420 watts from the wall. At 70% efficiency, it would be drawing 570 watts, which might not mean very much to you in terms of expense. After all, your refrigerator draws more than that. But, a principle advantage of this amazing efficiency is that very little heat is produced. Nearly all the power is going to the speakers. Only 5% is wasted as heat. With Class AB, 30% of your AC power is going up the chimney, so to speak. With Class A operation, it is even worse, as it is only 30% efficient, with the rest being dissipated as heat. So, Class A amplifiers tend to be very hot during operation, and heat, of course, is an enemy of electrical circuits.
John Ulrick produced the first commercially available Class D power amplifier in 1974.
