Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?

I’m surprised nobody has mentioned the Firstwatt SIT-3. IMHO if there’s a SS amp that can approach SET magic, this is it.
I use both SETs and low-power SS amplification in my system and agree with others that one will not sound like the other. However, the SIT-3 is one of a kind because it’s a no-feedback single-ended circuit based on a rare transistor that behaves like a triode tube.
For reference I also own a Mastersound 300B and a Valvet E2 and while I find each one special in their own way, the SIT-3 somehow manages to combine the best of each and I find myself listening to it the most.

Having said that, if you REALLY want to be reminded what a good SS amp can sound like, try listening to one of the Gryphon integrateds. My experience with the “little” Diablo 120 has been ear-opening to say the least.

There is a review which compares the SIT-3 with a Bakoon.They are both great and dedicated to absolute purity of sound but go about it in slightly different ways.The Bakoon is arguably more SET like in its operation .As I understand it they are both basically current drive amplifiers but Pass has deliberately added some voltage drive .SET amps are considered to be quasi current drive.Whatever that means.Just about all SS amps are voltage drive.

Why not start with a demo from a company that makes BOTH great tube and SS and form an opinion from there before branching out to other producers. The name has come up several times in this thread - Luxman, although Conrad Johnson comes to mind and I'm sure plenty more.

A lot of great suggestions.
I really appreciate being part of the Forum. I have learned A LOT!
I asked a good friend in the Audio Industry this question. He may be a bit bit dated but he had 1 resounding suggestion-the Pass Labs Aleph!
Has anyone had experience with these? Guess it would be the 3 or 5?
Any preferences?
I have heard a lot about the FW Sit 3 but I own a FW M2 and tried it. Both me and my wife missed the 300B SET sound a lot.
I always listen to her opinion. At least, her high frequencies are better than mine.

Lovely amps but stinking hot,

Tone Publications:
One word of caution: this amplifier runs HOT! Give it plenty of ventilation and breathing room. Pass recommends that, if you have one of these or happen upon one that hasn’t been looked over by either the factory or a good technician, you do so in short order.

and I think they are a low gain amp, so they need a high gain ampere that is low noise SS maybe.
Or if going direct a very high output dac, over 4v output

I think you’d be better off with the XA30’s or XA60, and the bass could also be tighter, if you feel you need more wattage go the XA60’s.

There is an Aleph here that that’s for sale.
