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'm using my FS PD II with a Krell FPB400cx. Very potent combo. Before I bought the FS, I contacted Emmanuel to ask him about some technical compatibility issues, which could have been a problem between the krell and his preamp.
He was most gracious and forthcoming with his advice. (He LOVED the pairing with a Krell BTW)
You too, might consider contacting Emmanuel for his advice regarding matching an amp with his preamp.
