        Reviews: Music First Audio Passive Preamplifier
Editor Srajan Ebaen's 'Best of 2005':
'The evidence is mounting that this demure little box from Great Britain regularly brawls it out with the big dogs and comes out the winner.'
'Music First is the best preamp I've yet heard.'
'Whoa baby ...this passive makes the ultimate get-out-of-the-way solution to hear amps in full frontal nudity.'

'Truly stunning sound.'
'I noted exceptional resolution and transparency. The sound was very close to what I associate with top-notch active preamps that cost several to many times the price of the Music First. There was a total absence of grain and hardness. The midrange was simply lovely: smooth, delicate, natural. The biggest surprise was the bass response, which was exceptionally strong and tight yet not overdone. The Music First did what a preamp should do: it enabled my digital sources and my power amps to perform at their best.'
- Sam Tellig Stereophile, January 2006
 
'In short, it's a gem of a unit'.

'This box can stand ahead of active units three times the price'.
'I feel the Music First pre-amp has the finest balance of virtues of any pre-amp I've heard date'.

“Sure I could have bought the Monster cables or others silver coated etc etc but none came close to Slinkylinks in the quality of the silver 4x9 silver and the specs”

“The bottom-end goes to Australia. But, the Slinkylinks take each note by the balls saying I am in control, you go down, but with clean, taught, dynamic clout, and slam......Did I mention the awesome dynamics?”
- Jazzy Dave

“I'm mixing a Latin jazz/lounge music album at the moment and the mixes sound very tight, very clean, sizzle in the high end and have a nice smooth warm low end.”
- Terry Bridges

“I often get dragged into listening, unable to tear myself away and thinking how amazing it sounds. It just seems to float out of the air and envelope me in subtle, intricate detail and clarity. Now every time I play music I have that warm glow of satisfaction with the sound.”

“Kathy & I have just spent a couple of hours listening to Angela Georghiou (Soprano) and Jacques Loussier on guitar and the sounds are amazing - the fullness, clarity is magical. Thanks for the upgrade - we can’t believe the difference!”
- Alan Irvine

“They're just so involving and detailed with a smooth sense of ease yet dynamic at the same time. Never do they sound harsh or bright and the bass has exactly the right amount of heft, weight, definition and extension.”
- Ricky Dasler

“I just want to tell you that I've purchased your cables, both, speaker and interconnects, in the way I usually don't do - without any listening. I really like your cables and they sound really great on my system.”
- Tadek Barcikowski

“I've just bought some interconnects - just thought I'd send you guys a note to say they are absolutely cracking. Well done on a great product (using with Densen), consigning my Nordost’s to e-bay! Cheers.
- Steve


“I'm not sure what I was expecting (maybe no difference) but I wasn't prepared for the HUGE difference they made. Bass was fuller and more extended; clarity and detail vastly improved; likewise for the soundstage”

“The clarity of the music is maintained and you hear strings, and bells so clear sometimes it’s all a bit startling and you can forget that you are not listening to the real thing.”
- Peter J Irwin

“With Slinkylinks added to my stereo I felt the performance of the stereo especially the frequency range and quality of response was closer to what I would expect in a live environment than I have ever experienced with a stereo.”
- Paul Ahern

“Yes very nice! I run a music night once a month and I used them from the Marrantz new SA11 CD player into their mono blocks into Proac 3.8's via your Bi-wire cables. Lovely timing and detail with no loss of warmth and low bass.
Thanks for these David.”
- Shane Taylor
