First Sound Preamplifiers Impressions
I am considering the First Sound preamplifiers. There is very little press information about them in most part because it's a small artisan builder but I have a couple of audiophiles in my local area who have heard them and think highly of First Sound. Hoping to get additional data points, are there any owners/ex-owners who would be open to sharing your experiences with the First Sound active preamplifiers? (you are welcome to PM me as well). Thank you.

Thanks for the additional color @oddiofyl ! |
I was lucky enough to purchase a First Sound Presence MKIII on the used market about 10 years ago, I was putting together my retirement system and had a list of preamps (12 long) that I wanted to live with before selling off and purchasing my selected preamp new. My choice came down to the First Sound Presence MKIV and a Lamm LL2.1 Deluxe, I started reaching out to dealers to get the best deal while making my choice as both preamps were the cream of the crop in the price range I was in and I honestly could not make up my mind, I had both the Lamm and the First Sound in home at the same time (both purchased used and sold to buy the selected choice new) to A/B and it came down to price. I bought the Lamm direct from a dealer referred to me by Lamm as there was no dealer in Houston for $2,500.00 less than the price Emmanuel Go quoted me on the Presence MKIV so my choice was an easy one. Enjoy the music |
