Hi, i got my hands on a used First One v1.3 about a month ago🙂 Thanks great amp Lazy Cat!
So far the most seductive, and addictive amp i have tried. I have been using class d amps like ta2014, ta2020, tpa3116, and mini watt n3 tube amp.
The sound is like tube and class d merged into a very lively and musical amp. It replaced The Wiener tap3116, also a very good amp maybe a little more detailed and clinical sounding.
But the thing is i have not had the urge to put The Wiener back into my system the last weeks because my feat is tapping all night long and i forget about it😉 Maybe at some point i will do another comparison but for now it stays!
My sound system:Mac-air, systemwide DPSplugin from bongiovi acoustics, airplay, a little bear tube buffer with russian Golden Platinum grid Voshkod tubes, First One v1.3 and big classic 3 way DIY speakers 12"JBL bass, seas mids and tweeters

I'll take 2, 1.4 amp modules if there are any left. Don't know how I missed this first offering. 🙂First batch of 20 modules availabe from next week on, so still possible as Christmas presents if air-mailed by fast courier service.

I was referring to LC's comment in post #2263. 🙂Happy New Year,
Did we really miss the first ordering ????
Yes, happy New Year to Andrej and to all VSSA/F.O. fans here! 
As I said a while ago: I take two F.O. 1.4 "M" type.
Cheers,

Hi,
Can someone confirm the price/module of the F.O. ver1.4 'S' type and also the bias requirement.
I believe the FO 'S' is sort of replacing the VSSA which had a bias of about 160mA at +/- 45Vdc.
Thanks and Happy New Year to all DIYer.

Too long to reply so I just purchased 2 x VSSA 😛
Is the First One V 1.4S (80W) ver. available ?
Plan is to run 4 Ohm/91db speakers with V1.4S using conventional linear power supply.
