henry4841 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 The F8 is now discontinued but RenoHifi has some still left in stock. Actually have one demo in stock for really good price. Highly rated with power J-fets. From Firstwatts website. 2/5/23 FW Product availability: As we run low on the SemiSouth SiC Jfets and SITs without replacements, we are discontinuing the F8 and SIT-3. F7 is still available, and new product is under development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry4841 Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 I saw that this morning. The F8 is a classic with those extinct SemiSouth power J-fets. The thing is with any Nelson Pass product you can rest assure it is going to be ticking long after most amplifiers have seen the trash pile.

richieb Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I spoke with Mark a few months ago when considering and F7 or 8 ( ended up with a rare F5).I told him I owned a J2 he said the F8 would be an lateral move with little sonic difference between the two and recommended against it. That’s when he suggested the F5 he just received. Done a n d done - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idontknow Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 That's unfortunate as I have just listened to one at home. Always the best ones to be discontinued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
