..i agree with 'audiokinesis' regarding the goldmund. i have a goldmund 29m and have had tenor 7w wis' prior to the goldmund and the goldmund is the fastest amp i have ever heard.it is also as musical as the tenor and does everything the tenor does but better.that being my opinion but also the opinion of those few lucky enough to have heard the 29m.as for preamp..i use an audio tekne 'simona' which is a tubed preamp with all point to point wiring.the combination is unbelievable.good luck
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)
