Faster alternative to the ASR Emitter?

Is there an amp that combines the qualities of the asr emitter such as flow, stability, density, warmth, tonal purity & timing - with better speed and openness ? As if ASR and Chord would have a child ?

50 Watt Class A equivalent Power but idle/standby draw lower than 50 Watts for 24/7 ops so i would have 90% of the sound after 15 Minutes ? Would like to stay below 7k used.

Which model Burson did you use in the ASR? Was there any soldering involved?

Zuio, what vintage ASR do you own and what is the rest of your system, incuding the efficiency of your speakers? The older generation units possess a little more of a vintage tube sound. Cables (IC, SW, PCs) can make a significant difference as can a non-current limiting conditioner (despite what the manufacturer says). I use Dale Pitcher's latest "conditioner" and it took the ASR to another level altogether. The Burson mod is a great idea but after talking to Tony, it is not something for the technically challenged. Another tweak to consider is changing out the stock fuses. I put in silver HiFi tuning fuses and that made a noticeable difference.

The ASR has all the speed and openness you could ever ask for.

If you power/wire is not up to snuff it will slow/close your sound.

What year Emitter?

Cables?

Front end?

The Teo cables I have gives my Emitter a fuller/less open sound than the Stage 3 Magnus Prime. A simple wire change may be all you need.

Z,

Below see the 7 threads you have started about amps for your speakers from 2010. In all those start up threads you never once responded to questions asked. Maybe can the speakers?
