I had mine for a couple months and i'm amazed by it. It seems like there was some talk online when it first came out but not so much now. I'm using mine with a Shindo Aurieges, and a Lampizator dac. I've tried a few different preamps, including a DHT suggested in the 6 moons review. But most impressed pairing it with the Shindo. Does anyone else have any love for it?
a have a pair of dc10audio berlin. (96db) I've used a pass labs xa30, kt88 push pull diy. before my current setup i had a bunch of different powerful solid state amps driving Salk SS8s.
I think it sounds detailed and more dimensional than anything i've tried. I never understood depth until I having this amp. My Xa30, which I love, sounds flat in comparison.
Nelson Pass seems very passionate about ultra simple and pure circuits. It isn't surprising that you'd find it more dimensional(less flat) and better than
his highly respected Xa.30 amplifier (with the appropriate speaker match for the SIT). If I were to ever go to a transistor amplifier the SIT or Valvet would be my direction. There was a long and very interesting thread regarding the First Watt SIT amplifiers last yesr on this site. Guf you have a very nice system. Charles,
Have not heard the SIT, but I have his M2, a zero-feedback, Class A 25 watt beauty. It is the smoothest and least fatiguing amp I have ever had (tube or SS), and needless to say, I am Nelson Pass's newest devotee. The man knows good sound.
