How Long Should a First Watt SIT3 Last ?

I was about to buy a used First Watt for my headphones. That was in the $2 - $3k range. I came across some positive reviews on the Schitt Aegir that said they were about 80% of the sonic goodness of the FIrst Watt amps. I tried it out for $800 new and have been very happy with that amp. I use it with the Class A Schitt Mjolnir 3 preamp for headphones. Both are a bit hot running but a very nice Class A sound.

In a few years there will be some used CODA S5.5 amps (50 watts Class A) coming up for sale. I will likely replace the Aegir 1 with a CODA S5.5. I like CODA over PASS. I have a CODA #16 and that is my best amp.

And no. I do not have a backup. I am miserable😥

mike got back to me, he said he thinks its a failed fuse.  that makes no sense at all to me for several reasons but Im not the pro and the fused looked fine.

He wants the old ones back and he will send me new ones.

hmmmmmmm

thanks @yyzsantabarbara . Ive heard Codas were nice.

Tony, you list on your system page that the Heresy pair are IV. Why I said IV. 👍
