October 16, 200916 yr comment_286061 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. Report
October 16, 200916 yr comment_286063 Congrats the F1 is an awesome amp, make sure you give it plenty of room to breath it gets a bit toasty Report
October 16, 200916 yr comment_286066 Running my Cicadas out of an F1 as well, Ryan. I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it Report
October 16, 200916 yr comment_286068 Aha! I knew you were up to something Ryan, you trickster . I wonder if this is one club I need to join myself... Report
October 16, 200916 yr comment_286091 Congrats on the F1. I have an F1 driving my Abbys, and it's one piece of gear I have no intention of changing. Report
October 16, 200916 yr comment_286122 Gotta love the Pass amps. I haven't heard the F1 yet, but I've heard great things. Congrats! Report

October 16, 200916 yr comment_286138 Nice amp and should match nicely with your speakers. Now what headphone amp/preamp could you be talking about?? Report
October 16, 200916 yr comment_286157 I saw firsthand the effect Mr. Millet had on Mr. Ryan at ChiUniFi 2. You were cursed from the start. Report

October 16, 200916 yr comment_286244 So if neither of you post pics... then what? This is as much as I have done so far. Report
October 16, 200916 yr Author comment_286290 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 comment_286321 Agreed. Also can't wait to see that 307A amp take shape. =) Report
October 16, 200916 yr comment_286327 You do, indeed, need a "real" pre-amp. That said, how does the Moth sound, being used as it is? Report
