For me, fast means fast risetime high slew rate and a wide frequency response. Spectral and Goldmund are fast, as already mentioned, but also check out Gryphon.
The Fastest most musical amp
Since I got the upgrade bug and the only cure is to change my preamp and amp I am looking for some advice of our great Audiophile community to help me find the amplifier and preamp combo that suits me best. My priority are the folowing: I want to find the FASTEST and MOST MUSICAL amp and preamp ( It can be tube preamp ( tough I think all tube preamp are slow) or solid state preamp but only solid state amp.) I know that spectral is known to be one of the fastest but I don`t like the idea of being forced to use the Networked MIT cable (which slow up the sound much)

Audio by Van Alstine as well as Spectral. Fet valve or Omega SET's sound "shouty" and hyped to my ears more than fast. Maybe higher 2nd order harmonics are part of the reason. |
Thank you all for you really great and informative reply! I started this thread as a open one without having to let you know what is my taste and my setup (since this setup is ever changing) but to try to find out with the help of our really great Audiophiles comunity what amp/preamp would qualify as the fastest to help anyone with that kind of taste to find their match. |
