| Your short list integrated amps, NO DAC, prefer 100W+, strange hi Z load Topping PA5 ($350) can't be beat! No remote - volume control on front. It clips at 110wpc@1% distortion. Typically 55wpc@.01%. | |
| Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet Too bad Fremer is going back to TAS. I was hoping he'd go back to being a divorce attorney! | |

| First Watt SIT3 vs Dynakit ST35 I have a nice Will Vincent SET 45 built on a Dynaco chassis with Edcor output iron. It is powder coated gloss white. A 6C6 pentode drives the 45 triode. Repeat for the other channel. A 5V4 is the rectifier. Speaker choice is limited due to its 1.7... | |
| First Watt SIT3 vs Dynakit ST35 Congratulations on discovering the ST35! Old tube enthusiasts like myself have known about it for years - yet never considered it as particularly note worthy! The ST70 was the amp to get and mod. Excellent output iron was important for the sonic f... |
