I would say its sound is more similar to the F1J than the F1. The F1 was leaner a little thing harmonically and perhaps a little cooler in its tonal balance--The F1J on the other hand was a little warmer and richer and seemingly quieter while being 'cleaner'.
The Alephs tonal balance is more along the lines of the F1J to my ears, but with improved dynamics better staging and perhaps better tone--its more engaging. The F1 and F1J both had a little dryness that I'm not experiencing here.
