| tube upgrade for first sound relax. BTW, I was underwhelmed when i plugged my brand new unit into my system. The thing takes TIME to break in, so be patient. Also, follow Emmanuel's recommendation for breaking it in, and dont tweak it (Power cords, tubes, etc) for 1 month! al... | |
| tube upgrade for first sound Rayhall- they do mate very very well together. In fact, I received an email from Emmanuel last week letting me know he had heard his preamp with a Berning amp, and to his ears, it was "fabulous." To be more specific, they're both very accurate, ve... | |

| tube upgrade for first sound Great insightful post. I spent $$$$ getting the famed Siemens 7308's, but was ultimately was very unimpressed. well, it turned out they were late 1970's vintage, which makes a big difference. I think that a subpoint within your thoughts are that a... | |
| Somebody Help Convert me to tubes Aesthetix Calypso is a no-brainer. First SOund Presence Deluxe, VAC Renaissance are all going to take you in the right direction. I applaud your courage - i did the same thing a while ago, and now have tubed amp (OTL Berning) and preamp (First Sou... | |
| tube upgrade for first sound swamp walker. From what i have read, the Supratek is a very very fine preamp. I am sure that once talking about items in this caliber (i.e., all very high performing), its probably more a matter of preference, as there is no such thing as "better,... | |

| Berning ZH270 - Wiring Upgrade Hi Kalan. Yes I have heard of the "big brother" First Sound preamps, and maybe one day.... For now, I am very pleased with the sound Im getting. I find these compliment each other very nicely. Both are preetty neutral for tubed gear, both provide ... | |

| tube upgrade for first sound Hi Paul - I agree that's a very nice, highly resolving system you've put together, and i also agree that some tube magic would do you good. The FS is a perfect match, IMHO, mostly becuase it's very neutral and honest - does all those audiophile th... | |
