First Sound compared to Supratek, VAC, or Audio No


Hello. I have a FS Prescence Deluxe II and am very happy with it. I have read that people often prefer transformer coupled preamps to non-transformer coupled ones.

Does anyone have experience with the First Sound products and one or more from Supratek, VAC, or Audio Note? If so, how were they different?

I addition, I am curious if any First Sound owners have moved up their line? Where did you hear improvement? Overall, do you think is it worth the extra expense? Looking back, would you made a different choice? Thanks for your input. Brooks

Kalan thank you. I would be interested as to how the Deluxe Mk II compares to the Syrah.

For those First Sound Presence Deluxe Mk II owners, have any of you found a "match made in heaven" phono amp to compliment your preamp?

Would be interested in both findings.
Kalan, thank you for the info. Please let us know your impressions on the Syrah versus the standard Deluxe Mk II, if you can, as they are much closer in price point.

Those with the First Sound Presence Deluxe Mk II preamps, any phono amp "relationships made in heaven" out there?
