Hi guys - Not to side track this thread too much BUT.... What are you FS owners, using as ICs between your FS and your amp? Emmanuel likes copper with no teflon insulation. Any suggestions?thankspaul 
TRL Marantz Sa-14
La45Paul has a record lable called Fidelis Records. I think he only has 3 SACDs available right now. (I may be incorrect on this.) They are recorded (DSD) in live environments such as churches, art museums etc. and are really beautiful. I have all...

JsalaYes, my RAM modded Toshiba has the full mod which DOES include the Super Clock 3. I prefer the McCormack to it though - The UDP1 just appeals to me more. A bit warmer sounding than the Toshiba, I would say. The UDP is a fantastic sounding "un... 
Thinking of getting a Krell FBP 600
BobIn my discussions with the service guys at Krell, I have been told NOT to leave their amps on when not in use. The FPB 600 will certainly handle the 801s . Enjoy!

Pardales - I've been waiting to see if any one else would chime in with an answer to your question. Regarding redbook performance. Most all of my comments above in this thread are centered around redbook performance on the TRL SA-14. Briefly - red...

Question for First Sound Owners
EpsI'm using my FS PD II with a Krell FPB400cx. Very potent combo. Before I bought the FS, I contacted Emmanuel to ask him about some technical compatibility issues, which could have been a problem between the krell and his preamp. He was most gra... 
tube upgrade for first sound
Hello men, :-)I have collected a few NOS tubes already: 7308 PQ /white/US, and a Holland pair. 6922 USN-CEP. 6922 PQ/white/US. Pinched waists? Don't think so. I'm not gonna spend $500 for a pair of tubes, just on sheer principle. :-) So I'm set wi... 
tube upgrade for first sound
DrubinHow did your EH 6922 GPs work out? I sent back the first set I got because they distorted the upper frequencies badly. Well - I got the replacement tubes today - THEY'RE WORSE! Back they go! This time for a refund. I suppose I have to cross ...

Jess45 Just think of all the MUSIC you can buy with the $$$$ you save, if you go with the 14. ;-) Your decision of course. :-) I'm sure you'll love either.BestPaul 
First Sound Presence mk11 vs Audio Research L.S.25
DsremerGood choice! The FS has NO noise. Amazingly silent. Don't know the AR gear, but the FS (just got one a month or so ago) is amazingly good. The reviews are true. Enjoy it.
