Vfet / SIT Amplifiers


Are there Vfet amplifier owners on this forum?

If yes, what do you own and what are your impressions?

Well I’ve an Absolute Audio Labs SIT-A15 SE power amp being built for me presently. Supposedly greater treble and bass extension than First Watt SIT3 and predominantly negative 2nd order harmonics which should give a more expansive sound stage than the SIT3 also, due to use of Tokin SIT’s. I’ll pair with a icOn 4PRO Unbalanced passive pre and Accurate Ultimate D1000 DAC. The pre has 3db gain and DAC very high output so it should be a favourable pairing. I believe this will be a significant upgrade over my Existing Pass Mini Aleph and 15W rather than 10W is nice also. ;)

Yes, thought it might be of interest as it’s a current production (albeit very low numbers) amp which can be purchased right now. I believe only about 5 made per year.

I thought I'd finally add an update regarding my Absolute Audio Labs SIT-A15...... Performance is just breathtaking. Instruments and voices just sound utterly real with great solidity to the sound. Sound staging is not just wide but also has great depth. Spectacular natural sounding detail. Basically as a direct result I ended up selling off all other secondary sound systems I had around the home. Just no point listening to them as they can't compare.

I've now a preamp being made by Watchara to go with it as it really would benefit from a bit more gain vs my passive icOn 4PRO. Nonetheless performance is the best I've ever heard.
