What can you tell me about First Sound pre-amps?

Only recently have heard about these pre-amps. Are they as good as they are made out to be? Is the least expensive model as good as say a R0land Synergy? I live in Seattle and have never heard of this pre-amp so any information would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance, Jerry.

Of course you are correct. In my opinion, to my ears, in my system I dont think the source, cables or amplification is going to change for a long long time, unless I win the lottery, so i'll continue my binge buying/listening on the preamp side of things, and may very well end up back where I started, but that's part of the fun - the trip.

Bottom line, if you buy value, it's relatively painless to rotate gear in/out. It may not seem sane, but trying new things can both be a curse and a blessing. To me, its fun.

I had a FS passive preamp and loved it - great musicality and finesse - and Emmanuel is a terrific guy. You cant go wrong, just check for equipment sinergy.

Artg, Go for the First Sound upgrade. You have some first class gear to go along with one of the "bigger brother" First Sound pre-amps (VAC 110/110 for example). I upgraded my First Sound 4.0 with the Paramount Plus upgrade. Well worth it.
