Latest First Sound Presence Deluxe Mk II Upgrades


Emmanuel Go of First Sound was offering an upgrade last year of his First Sound Presence Deluxe Mark II. Did anyone take him up on it? Was it worth it? How did the sound change? Are you still happy?

Thanks

Funny that you ask. My FS PDMKII is from 2000. I am scheduled to send it in for the upgrade during the first week of May. It's a great sounding preamp that I already love, so we'll see what the $600 gets me. The upgrade consists of fully implementing new construction techniques (whatever that means), adding two capacitors, changing the input resistors, and reconfiguring the grounding topology. Tubes are changed to the cryogenically treated 6N1Ps that are used in current production.

Emmanuel is great to talk to, and his preamps are first class all the way! I went thru 4 decent preamps before i got the FS, and I think the buck stops here!
