From 6 Moons review:
"In short, the F3 is a transistor amp that should appeal to all lovers of glowing glass and allow those who can't go there (because of heat, kids, pets, expense, impedance issues, reliability issues) to enjoy its sound without the liabilities. As you've undoubtedly noticed, I've attempted to describe what this amp sounds like nearly exclusively by what it doesn't do. I've approached this assignment unapologetically from the "tube guy criticizes transistors" angle. The fact that I found nothing to complain about should -- in my book at least -- be the core impression you take away. Consider me very much and very pleasantly surprised, educated, enlightened and rebiased. This assignment literally turned out to be about "something truly different now." The F3 Power JFET amp advances the state of the art in low-power triode-like solid-state amps for high-efficiency speakers to the next level. And while he insists that his objective wasn't to clone tubes, I believe that in this instance, the gentleman protesteth too much. That's why Mr. Pass' legendary status as America's foremost transistor amp designer remains unchallenged still."
