First Sound Tube Preamp Owners some help please?

I have been looking for tube preamps and I am about to try a few in my system. I remember hearing the FS Dlx at a dealer some years ago and it bettered the Heron premap at that time. I really want a preamp with a remote but some of the ones I like do not come with remote.

Anyway, how does the preamp mate up with your amp and what other preamps have you compared yours to? Has anyone moved on to another tube preamp that they have liked better than the FS?

Thanks and Happy Listening.

I loved the First Sound, but moved on to a Supratek Syrah, which I prefer. The First Sound is quieter and is incredibly dynamic, but I believe the Syrah is more musical and a better fit in my system. You can't really go wrong with either--it's a matter of personal preferences on this level.

Good luck.
