Transient Attack and Amp Design


I have observed with my new McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe (CJ Rev. 1 upgrade) that the transients are significantly better than my previous amps. Everything from classical, rock, and jazz has, for lack of a better term, better rythm and transients. (Granted, I have only owned mid-fi amps like Marrantz, Rotel, and Sunfire.)

I was wondering if the McCormack amp design explains the reason. It has eight caps on each output board instead of just one large cap for each channel. Maybe that means there is just more storage capacity? In any event, the amp is a heck of a lot more responsive than what I have heard in the past.

Is the multi-cap board topology more conducive to better transients or is this benefit dependent on the skill of the amp designer regardless of board layout?

You stated ...
Speakers with dips of quite low impedance will be the cause of most observed problems (rather than the amp).

Can you supply a definition/value of this impedance dip ?

Thank you .
