Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear?

Zd, I would think the opposite is the case in fact. Deliberately not designing true to life character seems to be the gimmick among tube amp designers especially. Just because of the well known quirky expectations of their market base. From what I gather, tubes sounding closer to ss is more trendy than vise versa. If the sound is 'balanced' as you say, it will display serious speed and attack...like reality does. If that's not what you want, it's okay to be honest and not obfuscate or try to reinvent the English language. "

You asked the question and for some reason, it looks like you're not happy because I was able to answer it. You make up all this crap and back it up with guesses. It doesn't work that way, regardless of what you think. The only way you can legitimately challenge my findings is if you have some of your own to back yourself up with. You can't do that. I've owned the amp and based my findings on reality. If you want someone to listen to you and take you seriously, then put your money where your mouth is and get one yourself. But we all know that's not going to happen, so keep reading the magazines, come up with more useless crap and keep us entertained.

"Btw, a soa amp will always display serious speed and attack."

Btw, more useless crap. Audio Note, Shindo, Jadis... The list goes on, and no, I'm not explaining it to you when you pretend like you don't understand. Everyone else will. (although you probably wouldn't be pretending)

Unsound you are right I was thinking spectron not spectral.

I would be hard pressed to believe Hegel is not as fast. It is very fast.

Zd, I do own a few amps. You clearly favor tubes so I responded commensurate with your bent. Not everyone considers your subjective view as reality btw. I'm perfectly happy with your answer. I just think it's bullshit, that's all. I expected as much.

Oh, I've never read or bothered with one of those mags.

Well, it took you long enough. Trying to figure out how to "win" and make yourself look good. Take as long as you want, but you'll never get it. The secret to winning an argument is don't argue. Just use facts. Why? Because you can't argue facts. Facts are facts regardless of what you, me or anyone else says. Can't do a thing about it.

I referenced a Musical Fidelity A3.5. You can't agree or disagree with me, subjective or otherwise. Why? Again, because you never heard one. Its a factual statement. Neither one of can change it. But we know you'll try and fail anyway.

Also, wrong on my preference for tubes. I knew you wouldn't get the example. I don't have a preference for anything, I just pick what I think sounds best (from actually listening, not guesswork). Right now, my entire main system is all SS.
