Don't buy that First Watt without hearing it. I owned the Quicksilver monos, and had trouble with them also, besides being lukewarm on the sound, but I also had a First Watt 7, and it sounded nothing like the Quicksilvers. I understand that the SIT 3 is different but try to hear one first.
How Long Should a First Watt SIT3 Last ?
I'm fairly certain my Quicksilver Monos are kaput. Im thinking maybe I don't want to mess with the troubles and uncertainties of tubes. Im considering getting a used SIT3, but how long should they Last considering the internals are no long available if I encounter a problem?
Thank you,
