I could listen over and over again to a person so enlightened as Mr. Frier.
Every few months, I find myself back here - absorbing. If one is [ able ] to hone in on the very essence of the words, terms, and implications that this researcher has expressed - that person will ( no doubt ) realize his brilliance. This interview should be ‘ Introduction to Reference Audio 101 ’ - for all those that claim or endeavor to be “ audiophiles ( especially manufacturers ). ” Sadly … That [ very small ] three-letter word that wars are fought over and causes man to watch his neighbor starve - [ will ] prevent most from agreeing with my aforementioned observation.
Wonderful and inspiring. Thank you
Best transistor gear on the market, nothing comes close to this. One day I will own a Spectral amp!

I Will keep my fingers crossed for you.
This chap, along with Peter Qvortrup, are leading the way when it comes to CD playback. Upsampling? Jitter reduction? Nope. Amazing.
I just purchased two Spectral DMA -360 mono power amps and a Spectral DMC 30SL preamp used from a audiophile that was downsizing his life. I'm so excited to make the step up. Right now I'm looking for the proper MIT cables to set them up.

This is crazy. Amazing.
I enjoy so much an interview with such guru of audio. Many things I heard which I totally agree. Spectral audio is the Nord American equivalent to my beloved Japanese hi-fi hi-end. Sadly, Spectral has always been out of my league economically speaking. A second hand DMA 250 is available for 17.000€ 😅.
Maestros Richard Fryer and Professor Keith O’ Johnson are among the very few bright minds left in this business and hobby and way ahead from the rest of the crowd. SPECTRAL is what I will buy blindfolded.🫵💎💎

This interview is future path opening for many hi fi amplifier manufacturers. Speaker placement in listening room is foundation of audio zig.new research in handling and shaping signal in amplifier the way that modify emf (signal) in the way we like psychologically (perceives). In process instrumentation we have radar liquid level measurement technology which has capabilities of modifying radar waves to achieve exceptional result for measurement, but in audio world this tech. Can work to achieve speaker dispersion characters variation.
Can someone tell me what's gonna happen with Spectral audio Inc. when the two leaders, founders, quit their pursue. and then?
And a good marketing department! Don't forget that!
Good interview but when I rung them they said they don’t sell and service to the UK sadly.
