For every Perron number λ we construct an infinite collection of topological Markov shifts with entropy log λ whose spectra are disjoint except for the necessary conjugates of λ. This is used to show that Marcus' theorem about every Markov shift of entropy log n factoring onto the full n-shift does not extend to certain entropy values.
