More compact, monoblock was on your mind?
Few designs for mono amp on the table for a while, prototypes to be prepared soon.
C1 stereo (dual mono) still the best chassis solution for First One v1.4 M
Hi guys
It has been awhile, holidays are over and new First One v1.4 finished.
Now listening tests will be performed between black and silver amps, since silver is a bit modified with different parts in CCS.
Outcome will bring the one with better SQ which will go into production. SQ tests are needed to ensure you'll all get what you've paid.
Silver amp below.
Regards, L.C.
So, which one won on the SQ? Black or Silver?
Is the amp module V1.4 (just the amp board) with best SQ available for sale?
Black chassis First One v1.4 M is a clear winner (Beta+ version). At the moment just making corrections to the PCB before releasing it to serial production.
Completed and tested modules will be available, no separate empty PCB's or kits whatsoever.
The main purpose of the last two months fine tuning and listening testing was to provide the best possible sound quality for anyone who's willing to buy First One module.

First One 1.31
I've just finished upgrading the First One 1.2 to version 1.31
The extra 0.01 is for the replacement of the Nichicon with Silmics and MKP, NP0
The Silmics should sound better, based on the reviews I've read.
The feedback caps of the First One 1.2 1.3 are very crucial, now I have 2x1000uf Silmics, original 10uf MKT, 1.5uF MKP, 0.1uf NP0
I just need to reconnect the cables before I can listen to the upgrade 1.31

LC, can you send me the upgrading of the First one 1.2 to1.31?
My brother compaired the first one 1.2 with Linsely the hood Amp and they sound the same , the F.O. was much better in the bas and powerful , but both they have the same sweet sound.
And you can put me on the list for 2 first one 1.4 M

Dear LC,
Second thought about speaker protection module: even if you disconnect instantly PS you still have enough capacitance in the modules themselves to keep voltage high during many seconds, I guess, since I don't remember seeing the circuit published.
I am confused. Please clarify.
Best wishes.

Yes.
Thanks. Sent an email 24 of august with a question but I assume it will be answered here
when you are open for 1.4M orders?
That module can be repaired in no time, if I you have the SMD parts and values.
Good luck
