First Sound vs Thor

I had a first sound (now i forget the model! - presence delux mkII?) and opted for a counterpoint sa-11 (sound was similar.) that doesn't answer your question i know. you need to note which first sound your deciding between because there are big differences along with the big price variations.

I have owned both the Thor Audio TA-1000 preamplifier and the First Sound Presence deluxe MKll. Which model First Sound preamplifier are you comparing the Thor Audio with?

I hear the Thor TA-1000 with the TPA-30 and have been very impressed by both. I hav't heard the First Sound though so I'm afraid I can't be of much help here.

84: I can't really help you, but if the name of the gear means anything to you, Thor Audio sounds WAY "cooler" than "First Sound" : ) Sean

I dunno sean, 'Thor' scares me. i'd be afraid to call in if i had a complaint.
