SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)?

I agree about the synergy between components, I think everything in the signal path makes a difference. The 25 ohm resistor I have shunted on both low and high frequency terminals, (Cornwall's) and the tinned copper wire from Duelund have made a huge difference in my love for this amp. I originally tried the 10 ohm resistors at Nelson's suggestion, but decided that was a little much and settled on 25 ohm.

I think with any amp you have to experiment with power cords, speaker wire, interconnects, 6922 tubes (Dodd) and in my case resistors to get the very best out of your amplifier. The SIT-3 is known to sound its best pushing a 4 ohm load.

My guess is that there are a lot of people that decide to try a new amp but never  make the correct adjustments to make it sound its best. They never allow their forever amp a chance to shine, before they sell it someone else.

If you blinded folded audiophile friends that visit, they'd think they were listening to tubes.

ps. The Supratek preamp, and First Watt SIT 3 should wonderful together also.

I rotate between a Pass XA-25 and a Dennis Had Inspire Firebottle HO (high output). Both sound amazingly excellent. 

Accuphase or  luxman class A (I have the 550ax2 in its 20w and perfect for my tannoys 94db) superb control but also sweet midrange. First watt/ pass in US are great value. 

Just my 2cents 

Pass XA25 is here to stay. Reputation, service, durable and excellent sound.  Has plenty of reserve power.  You can get a demo for 4k @Reno HiFi.

I replaced my tube amps with a class D amp and no downside in my system- its just as smooth and revealing as the tubes were- no harshness or brightness and good bass impact. I'm really convinced that tube power amplifiers are on life support; why have one when you can have an amp that sounds better in every way and not have to deal with tube issues??
