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.

Good point Artg, as indeed we should be polite - aren't we the lucky ones to be able to choose amongst the excellent preamps discussed in this thread?

Any of them can be fabulous, just depends on your system and your personal preference.

TVAD, RWWEAR and all. I now have a call into Emmanuel to get more info about his twin volume control design philosophy. I will report back as soon as I hear from him.
