Nomenclature in the audio world can be a little strange at times. "Fast" what is fast in an amplifier. All electons travel at the same speed. While I make some fun of the term, and can not explain fully what "fast" is--I immediately knew what character was being referred to. The amp that immediately came to mind was the Bel Canto Evo 200.2 (I believe that was the model). I was really impressed with this amp, it seemed to effortlessly be there with all the reserves for the music. What was more impressive is that it is a digital amp and did not lose it's musicality--something I did not expect. I've only auditioned it once, and thus do not have enough experience with it to point out where it might fall short. But I can say on my short audition--it is definitely "fast".
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)
