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.

Calloway, you suggested earlier you were planning to upgrade from your Presence model to a real Paramount. Have you ordered/received your unit? You may be able to comment on perceivable sonic difference between Holco and Vishay-based models.

No kidding TVAD about the number of variants. Even with the spreadsheet I tend to get confused.
And you are right, it would be interesting to learn about the rest of Mphnkns's system.

Too many options. He should simplify, or at least re-organize the product line.

I'd like to know what mphnkns's preamp of choice is (I assume it's not the First Sound).

And damn, this disucssion has made me very curious to try the Aesthetic Calypso and the new Herron.
