Does your system have jump?

PRAT, slam, musicality, attack, decay. All that is good but does your system have jump? Does it get up and go and take you with it? I think I've found a nice equilibrium again after some dramatic system changes. Nothing is ever as fast as real life. I thought tubes could not do instantaneous but with the way I have things set up, I think it was, as I suspected, in the preamp (a long journey may have now ended for me).
I went from VTL to SFL to Krell to Rowland to CJ to Spectral to CAT to BAT to Pass to Wavac to Ayre to to ML back to BAT and now I am home with Aesthetix. Which components seem to have delivered the largest return on jump for you?

NO! the visit to the dentist can't conclude while the patient still has teeth we haven't pulled.

Classicjazz - you should try a DHT preamp sometime. DHT preamps tend to have a purer tone and faster attack. If you like small ensemble jazz in an intimate club setting you will especially appreciate the qualities of a DHT preamp.
