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 had the opportunity to listen for an afternoon to the First Sound MKII paired with a Berning ZH270 driving Merlins, all Cardas cables. Source was a Cary CD player with a full set of Modwright mods.

The First Sound/Berning/Merlin combination was glorious...
