Trevor I know you are knowledgable about the design of amps, do you think in the near future we will see some faster, higher resolution digital amplifiers that will take full advantage of the new digital formats? The Spectron and the TACT seem to be going that direction.I agree about the SP11, it was a hybrid. The all tube ARC preamps sound better to me. When you compared the amps, what speakers did you use?
As far as a tube amp becoming obsolete when better source material becomes available the only reason I can see that happen is if the amp being used now is really innacurate and the CD player it's used with has severe high frequency problems that the tube preamp or amp is masking. Most modern tube designs really don't do this. With a higher bandwith source and more dynamic range a good tube amp should still reveal the better source materials advances, plus have the 3d soundstaging that most transistor amps and preamps lack.
