Any new news on FirstWatt??

[Nelson Pass]

They are not sold out yet. Remember, I'm building them
in my spare time.

1000th?
Hmm…If Nelson builds one per day, then….calculate. Seems to be a finite number. So there is more hope for us then for those “Waiting for Godot”. On the other hand, maybe the Great Master decides to spend one evening writing an article (instead building one more piece of F1) and drawing schematics for a “substitute version-for dummies” ….

reinhard-

And did you see Mr. Nelson's beautiful face smiling for the camera?

Mr. Pass, you looked quite cheerful. Glad to see your doing well. You bring a lot of people joy here and I hope you stay fit enough to continue for a LONG time.

 

[Nelson Pass]

You're welcome, thank you.

Positive Feedback

In issue 17 of Positive Feedback, their reviewer combines an F1 with a DecWare 1.5 "radial speaker". Interesting speaker design. The reviewer likes the combo.

How much? This much.

That ribbon tweeter is special indeed.
Seems like a good mate for the F1, both in sensitivity as nature.

F2

Any info on the F2?

 

[Nelson Pass]

The F2 is another current source. Like the F1, its a single stage
Class A without feedback, but with a different sonic signature
altogether. I have two versions - one optimzed for 8-16 ohms,
and the other 4-8 ohms. I will probably release the former, but
I am still tweaking it.

 

[jacco vermeulen]

Maybe sometime you could tell how much time is involved, measuring and listening, to tweak a circuit like the F1 or F2.

For someone with +30 in the audio 'business', of course.
