Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps

I wanted to revive this thread in case anyone had recently auditioned the SIT amps with a good DHT preamp.

Haven't used it with a DHT preamp but have used it with Rogue Audio 99 Super Magnum with Mundorf Supreme Silver/Oil with psvane cv-181 and tj full music and now with a Rogue Audio 99 with the Supreme Silver/Oil Caps(with electroharmonix gold ins). I've owned the Sit-2 for about a year now and it's probably the most transparent amp I have ever owned. Quite impressive really. I can't say the amp has a particular sound in that it will just present exactly what is presented to it. So you really need to pick your front end to taste. you can make it as lush/tubey or as neutral as you want it. What it does convey is detail in spades.

These are the findings that me and boys in the Las Vegas Audio Club came up with.

Dave_72, Mdeblanc was asking about FW SIT amps not the J2.

cobra213 "I’m going to make it a point to hear the SIT-1 monoblocks with a DHT preamp in front of it. I have listened to DHT preamps and have heard the SIT-2, but have not heard the two sequenced together. I’ll give Srajan benefit of doubt, and I do believe the adjustable bias monoblocks will get closer to being musically convincing than the SIT-2 regardless of what’s in front of it."

"I still want to hear SIT-1s driven by a DHT preamp, to hear whether Srajan’s postulate about the leap in results is true for me. But this was one step further in gaining experience with these amps."

213cobra, much time has gone on, yet has anyone followed up on Srajan’s example? As I do not believe he would have sold off the remainder of his once treasured DHT power amps in favor of the first watt SIT-1s if not for what the compo had accomplished.
