A difference between First Sound Presence products

I upgraded my linestage 1 to a mk11 and the difference was huge both in resolution and dynamics. I think you are better off selling a used preamp and buying a used mk11 since there is a big change between them. Please talk to the source himself(Emmanuel is one of the nicest people that I have delt with). I hope this helps you in your decision, I know that the Presencse competes with the very best out there and has a truth of timber that is uncanny. Take care Dennis

I am getting the First Sound Deluxe in this week, or early next week. I will be happy to report of its sound versus several others I have tried if you like.
As the other post indicated, Emmanuel is tops, and unabashedly says his is the best. Also, a manufacturer of Loudspeakers, told me recently, that the First Sound, makes many well respected preamps sound almost 'broken', his word, by comparison.
Let me know if you would like a follow up.

Lrsky,
Please do a follow up on your early experience with the Deluxe MK2 when you can. Info from product owners is scarce. I too have spoken to Mr. Go about his product line. My first introduction to tubes included this preamp in the system. Since that day, I have not heard a deeper and more detailed soundstage. So I am still interested in their products. The only thing I'm concerned with is the fact that they are single ended only and I have gotten used to balanced connections. Ayway, let us know.

Larry, I would appreciate the follow up, if it is convenient to you.
