"Ladies and gentlemen, please raise your seats to their full upright position and take note: The F8 has joined the SIT-3 on the winner’s podium. These two amps offer differing but equally valid perspectives on sound reproduction. As far as current production goes, they are the two brightest stars within the First Watt family. The F8 is a reference tool in the finest sense of the words, exceptionally revealing of what comes before it in the playback chain. Its directness of expression enhances the illusion of being there, and is a function of its phenomenal clarity and transparency. These attributes should give it wide audiophile appeal. I’m so glad that Nelson Pass took the time to finalize the F8—I think we can all agree that it is a worthy successor to the J2."
