"Faster" would probably mean that it has good transient response and lacks overhang, good things for most of us. Definitely sounds like a great design. Just waiting to see them manage the price down. But I am curious for sure. So the VPI 3D stays on what looks like a VPI classic?

My setup can't quite do what you described with that wood flute recording. Still some things to do on the preamp and the mid/tweeter amp is going to be substituted with an 805 SET with the feedback loop removed, when it becomes possible.Also looking for the option of a non feedback parallel KT150 or KT120 SET - someone is making them in China and I am looking for Western reviews.

I get what you say about the critical role of a well executed preamp. My modster friend finally finished his non feedback preamp and it took replacing the Van Alstine Dyna PAS' power trannies with new Edcors ($500) taking up 4 times the space, and added choke and separate filament power supplies. He transitioned it to the basic Herran circuit with no feedback and a single gain stage - down from 3 he started with.Desite this, his power supply box can't contain all the giant film caps and the preamp section is full of foil caps so he had to hang the trannie and choke outside the chassis of both the PS and main box.
