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)

Hi Gang - Dismalonx, I have a few questions that are strictly curiosity-driven and NOT meant to disparage in any way.
1. What speakers are you mating this "fast" amp to?
2. What source are you using mostly: LP? CD? XRCD? SACD?
3. What type of music do you listen to that is recorded well enough to take advantage of this fast system? I'm interested because I think most music commercially available is recorded & mixed on less dynamic equipment than most of us possess, thus is either muddy and ill-defined, or overly detailed ear-bleed material. Could you list for me the 5 (or so) albums that you listen to most on your system? I'm always interested in finding well recorded music of any type, and would be willing to try some of your favorites - if I don't own them already. :-)

Gettin' more cynical every day, I'm still
