October 16, 200916 yr Just plugged it in today. Wow, fantastic bass, in fact too much, had to pull out my horns from the corners a bit. May need to play around with stuffing or even loading the outputs with some resistance to get some extra dampening. Crystal clear, focused sound, beautiful soundstage and great tone. Nelson Pass knows his stuff. Currently being driven by the headphone output of my moth with EML 45 tubes using a 1/4 inch to RCA adapter with monster cables, lol. I can't wait to get my real headphone/preamp when it's done. Pictures probably tomorrow or the weekend.
October 16, 200916 yr Congrats the F1 is an awesome amp, make sure you give it plenty of room to breath it gets a bit toasty
October 16, 200916 yr Aha! I knew you were up to something Ryan, you trickster . I wonder if this is one club I need to join myself...
October 16, 200916 yr Congrats on the F1. I have an F1 driving my Abbys, and it's one piece of gear I have no intention of changing.
October 16, 200916 yr Gotta love the Pass amps. I haven't heard the F1 yet, but I've heard great things. Congrats!
October 16, 200916 yr Just plugged it in today.Pics or ban my friend, you know the rules. I can't wait to get my real headphone/preamp when it's done. Wait, what? What did I miss?
October 16, 200916 yr Author Wait, what? What did I miss? You have your secrets (cough cough 307a amp cough cough), and I have mine:D
October 16, 200916 yr You have your secrets (cough cough 307a amp cough cough), and I have mine:D Well played... P.s. Still pix or ban on the F1.
October 16, 200916 yr Nice amp and should match nicely with your speakers. Now what headphone amp/preamp could you be talking about??
October 16, 200916 yr I saw firsthand the effect Mr. Millet had on Mr. Ryan at ChiUniFi 2. You were cursed from the start.

October 16, 200916 yr Pics or ban my friend, you know the rules. So if neither of you post pics... then what?
October 16, 200916 yr So if neither of you post pics... then what? This is as much as I have done so far.
October 16, 200916 yr Author Yes, that is the moth driving the F1...for now... Really not much to it...though in person the chassis is really beautiful and the heatsinks add a sweet touch...in a sort of he-man kind of way. F1 needs moar $60 transistors Did you get on the group buy for those semisouth jfets? Supposedly they can be dropped in directly for any place where you would normally use a n-channel mosfet, and that they could directly be subbed into the F2, but I have heard nothing about swapping in for the F1 or F3.
October 16, 200916 yr You do, indeed, need a "real" pre-amp. That said, how does the Moth sound, being used as it is?
