| Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps Keithr,Thank you for your insight.It seems Phil`s impression nailed the essential differences between the amplifiers and in the end it will boil down to taste and sonic vitues that are cherish most.Complete note substain-decay is a quality I won`t... | |
| Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps Chad,Why the need to avoid tubes? They obviously provide that something special your prior SS amps lacked or you`d kept one of them. Your Yamamoto SET is very simple,straight forward and reliable like my Frankenstein(minimal fuss). The tubes in th... | |
| Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps Brawny and Phil with different perspectives (no surprise, different ears).Chad you`re going to have to bite the bullet and hear this amp in your system. It`d be very interesting how it compares to your modified Yamamoto SET amplifier. | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? It`s no shock that the Quad II amp outperformed more expensive amplifiers. IMO there`s a relatively weak correlation between cost and performance with a lot of current 'high end' components. The adage "you get what you pay for" has more than a few... | |
| Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps Keithr,What is your opinion of the SIT-2 amplifier driving the Zu Defs? Do you have an interest in auditioning the SIT-1 versions? | |
| Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps Hi Phil,Reading Srajan`s complete review of the SIT-1 amplifier, he made the distinction of "single gain stage" DHT linestages as opposed to merely DHT tube based. Will you be able to get a single stage version?I may have to saddle up my horse and... | |
| Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps Phil,I look forward to this report.I`ll be patient.Regards, | |
| Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps Phil,When you do get the chance to hear the SIT-1 amp with a DHT single stage preamp I`d love to read your impressions. If you lived nearby(Michigan) I`d certainly lend you my Coincident Linestage for comparison(and Frankenstein amp also).Regards, | |
| ARC's new REF-75 Bvdiman,You`re right, I don`t mean to hijack this thread, sorry. | |
| ARC's new REF-75 Hi Bvdiman,Reading your account above it just seems the amp-speaker match was`nt ideal rather than an inherent problem with the amplifier.A good SET amplifier with the 'appropriate' speaker can play all types of music in my experience.Regards, | |
| Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps Hello Srajan,I thought you made these points clearly in your review. I believe also that phil heard what he so very clearly described. All this means to me is the two of you simply value different sonic attributes and as a result individual prefer... | |
| Speaker cables of cooper, or silver :Pros/Cons There are different quality levels of silver cables along with different construction and implemetation.I find the 'good' quality silver cables to be very transparent,open,pure and with natural warmth and body intact.I`ve had no issue with brightn... | |
| Best tube preamp ever Markgarmaise,I`ve owned the Coincident Statement Linestage for nearly 3 years and it`s stunning! Really an outstanding product,but it is`nt possible to claim any thing the 'best' IMO. There are too many variables involved and people simply hear th... | |
| Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps Phil,You make quite valid points between the two versions of the amplifiers. Is your friend`s view of the SIT-2 amp the same as yours or is he happy with them in his system?Does your friend plan to try the SIT-1 amps to see for himself?Is he a for... | |
| Thoughts on the First Watt SIT Amps Hello Phil,I also like the 6 moons approach with their emphasis on musicality and feel that Srajan is very effective at putting into words what he hears. I don`t view him or anyone as a 'guru' however. Your further description of the SIT amp is wh... |
