It's in the current Stereophile Buyer's Guide.

I am looking at the Stereophile and I see the F2 in there but I do not see the F6 as I "believe" was the question here:

http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=1423672#post1423672

Any other articles or reviews of it other than the AudioXpress issue which has not been published yet?

I may have to subscribe to AX again.. I stopped after their lame coverage of the Gainclone amps which I think do a TREMENDOUS job of hooking people in this hobby.

 

[Nelson Pass]

The F2 which shows up was not intended for review, but
was an accomodation sale to Sam Tellig. He decided to write
something up anyway.

Stereophile has not shown additional interest in First Watt,
for reasons that are not known to me, but they do list the
models in the Buyer's Guide published annually.

Maybe the F series are just too good. Might be upsetting someone who places more ads with Stereophile.

....Stereophile has not shown additional interest in First Watt,

I will be nice here and not say anything but boy am I biting my tongue!! (It is concerning Stereophile, NOT you or your products)

I was just curious and hoping to read more about the F6.

 

[DaveM]

I would guess that at the prices they are sold for that they would really upset the apple cart of many other high end manufactures if a true unbiased review were done. Stereopile is not stupid. They know where their paychecks come from.

 

[Nelson Pass]

I am informed that AudioXpress with the F5 article will be in the
mail April 10, just 2 weeks away.

 

[Michael Rothacher]

Ahhh, my withdrawl symptoms are improving now!

Does it have lightbulbs?

 

[GRollins]

Surely any self-respecting DIYer can find a way to put a light bulb into a project. If nothing else, you could use it as the R in a CRC filter in the power supply.

I use lightbulbs in everything now. It just doesn't feel right without them.

 

[auplater]

lite bulbs

I thought that's what tube audio was all about...

after all, aren't they the essence of what tubes are all about.... no messin around with grids, cathodes, that sort of thing... just raw power of the heater

[Michael Rothacher]

Right on!

Seriously, Can't wait to check out F5. I even re-subscribed to Audio Express just for the occasion.



Just when I thought I was out of this hobby, it pulls me back in.

 

[GRollins]

Don't touch that dial...we are in control of your mind...

Grey

 

[Nelson Pass]

I don't need mind control. The F5 has this 200 KHz square wave.
Did I mention that the circuit has no capacitors?

 

[Michael Rothacher]

I must find my tin foil beanie! Must resist!
