First Sound Preamp Owner's - What NOS tubes?????


Of those that own First Sound Presence preamps, what NOS tubes are you using in your unit? What sonic character does the tube(s) yield?

Thanks, from another new First Sound owner.

When one mentioned Philips SQ E188CC, one has to realise that Philips produced E188CC over many years. This mean that the sound of Philips SQ E188CC can be very much different within themselves. There a total of 8 product codes for Philips SQ E188CC representing each period of it. Starting from the most earlier VR0, follows by VR1, VR2, VR3, VR5, VR6, VR7, VR8 and VR9. You can find this code etched on the glass. I didn't come across VR4 all these years, if anyone come across it, do let me know.

Cheers!
