alternative for spectral power amp
Arjan and I have been chatting for the last year on all-things Spectral, and he has a few experiences to share with us. Above all, he's a musician who's just cut his first CD, and a copy is on the way to me - please see

I am doing the introduction to ease his pain
Welcome Arjan!
Been a happy but passive user on this forum with so many knowledgable people around.
But got a question now. I tried out several brands of amp in the last years (Mark Levinson, Audio Research, Pass, Classe) and settled on Spectral in the end.
A good friend of mine has heard all these amps to. Now he wants to buy a new hifi-set and he likes Spectral the most just like I do.
Only, Spectral is too expensive for him.
If you like the Montrachet on the winelist you probably end up drinking the Australian chardonnay or the one from Santa Barbara. Same idea :b.
What would you recommend if someone likes Spectral but want to spend say 1/3rd?
My advice for a pre would be a (second hand) Music First Audio passive pre I guess.
cheers
