After purchasing a spectral DMA 150 (about 18 months) and made an upgrade, I then decided to look for a preamplifier. Since my adolescence this manufacturer has always inspired me. So the preamplifier had to be also ... spectral.
I had access to 3 models for my final decision. DMC-20, DMC-30SL and DMC10 serie Delta. The DMC30 is very transparent and fast, but it doesn't have the (neutrality I'm looking for). I also liked the DMC20 and DMC10, both have an identical signature, which I look for.
With an update it is possible to improve your performance on these two models. My final choice was the DMC10 Delta series, the reason was that the DMC20 the phono board was not included.
After a long google search, I finally found a DMC10 for sale in Denmark. The owner informed me that he had some problems and two / three risks on the front panel. As I was going to do an update, I risked the purchase.
Being an equipment from the 1980s, the electrolytic capacitors were destined to be replaced, there were other components to be replaced, RCA connectors, resistors, dip-SW.
Two days after it was delivered, I decided to do a first audition. In fact, he has some problems that the seller mentioned, including leaking transistors. This is a problem, because they are models that are no longer on the market for sale.
