Super-Effect Bybee Purifiers
This upgrade is "complimentary" - it adds different quality - probably, most important palpability and 3D body that so far only tube amp could provide. The Super-Effect BybeeFilters are described in more details by Bybee Technology   (link to http://bybeetech.com/products.asp  - see "Golden Goddess 'Super Effect' Speaker Bullets, MSRP: $4,200" ) The identical set of the filters is , now, offered by Bybee in his power cord for $3,295 ( see review - http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?rcabl&1207098077&read&keyw&zzbybee). The main difference that we install these filters between transformers and diode bridge where their effect is maximum.

Premiere - Signature Upgrade
This upgrade includes everything described in Musician III Signature Upgrade except rebuilt power supply and Cardass binding posts.

Price: $300 per channel (any number of channels) plus shipping.

Musician II - HYBRID PLUS Upgrade
This upgrade is, in essence, creation of practically new product - Musician Hybrid Plus. This new amp is based on your Musician II which will be 1/4 refurbished with 3/4 boards being replaced with new Musician III electronics which includes the heart and soul of Musician III Signature Edition - new redesigned "digital" modules giving non-artificial life-like sound described in Signature Upgrade section.

The sound is much better than a Musician II and almost indistinguishable from a Musician III SE. Veil is gone, holographic depiction of soundstage expanded. Bass is deeper, richer and with greater slam. The specs are also very similar to that of Musician III SE. Naturally, the look is still an elegant Musician II look.
All work is done at Spectron, and, probably, the best part is that Musician Hybrid Plus comes with a FULL 3-YEAR MANUFACTURER's WARRANTY. Considering that new Musician III Signature Edition cost is $7,195, it's the best deal in town!

Price: $1,295 plus shipping
