Funny how the simple stuff isn't so simple! I often find guys would like to take a short cut and just be told what to do. Sadly it doesn't work for audio. Morgan Jone's books are worth having and he impressed on me the need to always make a list.

If it wasn't clear, by response speed I was talking about ringing when subjected to stepped loads.

P.S. I tend to be a little "old school" when answering such questions on a public forum. There are several new ways of thinking out there such as having a high impedance part as the last element to force local current return. A CCS is a good example. I won't touch the low-everything stuff that is still raging on tube diy:)
