Question for First Sound Owners

I currently have a first sound deluxe mkII. I'm thinking of replacing my Jadis DA-8 amp. I recently tried a conrad johnson amp and they did not match. The sound was congested and lifeless. I have heard the CJ amp sounding good so I guess this is more of a matching issue. In this regard, i'd like to know what amps you guys are using so i can avoid purchasing something that will not match the FS. TIA.

I've tried my FS with Jadis and Hurricanes and they worked quite well. Although it didn't do well with the CJ 11A, suprisingly different results with Drubin.

I always check that the tubes are working properly. Also, i make sure that polarities are reversed.

Thanks for all your inputs.

Cheers.
