My Firstwatt came back today with the F1J mods! Aside from the prescribed updates, I had two power supply caps replaced which appeared to be worn.
Honestly--my first impressions are not particularly good with this pairing. Lower noise flood, much better top to bottom extension, and superior resolution than the Dynaco, but initially at least, it does not sound musical--kinda sterile and disjointed.
I'll let this sucker burn in/warm up more before commenting further, but I hope time brings out the goods.
