Where does First Sound fit in? I am considering buying a used one but have no way to listen first.
Best preamp: Viola, Jadis, F.M. or Jeff Rowland ?
a dream test would be to compare "live" following preamps:
-Jadis JP80 MC MKIII
-Jeff Rowland's Criterion
-Viola's Spirito or Cadenza
-F.M. Acoustics 255 or 266
I had only the oportunity to compare Jadis JP80 MC with Audio Research Ref 3 ... the last one had no chance!
I have heard the Criterion (beautifull) and Viola's Cadenza (incredible precision) but on different days in diferent systems ... I have never heard F.M.
Have you had the possibility to compare these models ?
which other one would you add to the list ?
