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.

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.

ARTG, my admittedly aging system is as follows:
EAD T1000 transport..
EAD D7000 Mk.3 DSP.
Audio Research LS2B linestage.
Jeff Rowland 7M amps.
MagnePan 3A speakers.
C-Core AT&T glass wire between transport and DAC.
Audioquest Quartz RCA interconnects to linestage.
Gutwire Synchrony XLR interconnects to amps.
Cardas Golden Ref spkr wire to speakers.
Cardas Golden Ref PC on 7M amps.
Stock PC on other components.

that's a fine system, Guido - I only asked because you frequent the First Sound discussions, and seem pretty familiar with its virtues. Maybe you should pick one up!!
