The Pass Labs XA25 costs about the same as the SIT-3 and doesn’t seem to be tied to a Transistor Anachronism...both amps are well regarded nearly to the point of astonished worshipful reverence, but I want an XA25. Why? Just because it’s there, although I doubt my single ended tube amp is going to explode any time soon which would be my only reason to drop the coin on a Pass. Still...it’s there...haunting me...now if they'd just put a meter on the front...
Get your First Watt SIT-3 now?
I am just saying this because I found it very interesting. I just purchased (ordered) a new First Watt SIT-3. I was hoping to save to upgrade my speakers but love my F7 and read so many great reviews on the SIT-3 that I thought, 'with only 250 being made, maybe I should pull the trigger'.
Well, looks like the right choice. I trust my dealer, he has always been fair and truthful. Anyway, he said when he contacted Pass, he was told I got the last one they are producing. I had already paid for the Amp. I heard they were making 250 only anyway, but mine is reportedly number 107. What about the other 143? Is it numbered in an odd way? none of that matters.
I only write this because if it is true and you are seriously looking at getting one, I would jump on it before it is no longer possible.
