| best preamp ever - cost is no object I will agree with the First Sound Statement. Hand made copper capacitors-I am sure I heard the voice of god!Only a handfull are competitors. | |
| What are OA2 tubes and why are there more gear The OA2 used in the First Sound is different from the one used in the Joule Electra. The Joule Electra will take any domestic OA2, but the First Sound needs one designed for the Russian military that can handle a 3ma current draw. These are gettin... | |
| Updating my preamp.Frustrating..You Bet Check out the First Sound Presence. One is being auctioned here. This preamp is the only thing that this company builds and it does it very well. Probably among the best in the business if not the best. An upgrade path is available if you find it ... | |

| Best Subwoofer? Probably the best sub for music is REL. These subs use a balanced speaker level input direct from the amp so that they blend seamlessly with your main speakers. They are the fastest and most accurate sub that I have heard. They also have the best ... | |
| Are subwoofers worth the trouble? You are headed in the right direction by starting with a REL. I have a REL, and this is the last sub woofer that I will ever buy. This sub blends in so well with my mains, that I don't know that it is there until I turn it off, and then I miss it.... |
