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. Zuio  (Threads | Answers | This Thread) 03-10-12

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.
