Firstwatt, avoids the power struggle altogether. Finesse, that's all you really need. So far advanced I think only an all Passlabs system does it best. I heard Abby at Nelson's and it haunts me, still. I think his preamp and F-1 commbo go where little else ---can-. Save for the brat(it's a compliment Josh). The F-1 is lucid as a Wavac with better than SE-OTL bass. But like the Berning is completely dependant on system family harmony. Sources have difficulty keeping up. Audiotropic/Firstwatt is so far, speed champeen the very sound of light. The holography of round plate tubes and the speed of a Spectral or some other high zooter sand amp.There's a thing called a Vinny-box-tripath thingy I could probably live with. I'd still need a tube phono pre or output of a dac/cd. Tubes man!
