SIT-3

[Zen Mod]

nice reading

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but here's another review:

Where might I find opinions on comparisons between the SIT-3 and XA-25 other than power of course? They are roughly in the same price region.

me thinks that's apples and oranges

same garden , but ....

those XA25 watts are really from some other Watt domain

 

[Dennis Hui]

First Watt and Other Watt?

SIT 3 on top, XA25 on the bottom :^)

Hi Dave,

What speakers are those?

Thanks,
Dennis

Those are one of our WAW prototypes. SDX7eN sealed, A7.3eN in midTL. 1st order PLLXO @180 Hz. Probably our 2nd best (but not behind by much), but the box is the prettiest.

You got the SIT3 already? That was quick!

 

[Zen Mod]

I can't see neither SIT-3 nor XA25 on P10 pics

You got the SIT3 already?

Just dreamin’ — will be powered by ACA monoBloks & an old Hitachi built dual mono MOSFEt AB amp (a little tweaked).

Thank you Dennis! Had not seen that one.

Hi All,
Now a days all are talking about SIT's. As per the sit-1 and sit-2 manuals only two companies making SIT. one is Japanese having own amplifiers and another one is semi south. I am wondering is SIT SIC JFET ?. Any alternative available to those like triode character. Is it worth buying working old Sony TA-5650 for $357.
Thanks,
Nag

This is the no feedback amp hinted at on Reddit?

@ Jpak

Feedback or no feedback Vfet DIY amp a perfect question to ask Maestro

Thank you, We will see what papa has in mind.

What I have in mind encompasses several possible front ends for an
output stage that incorporates a single VFET, all plug compatible.

At this point the design is not frozen but has four TO-3 transistors and
likely a different design for the P vs N channel VFETs.

The brackets have arrived which are fitted to the diyAudio Universal
Mounting Spec (UMS), and I will finalize this as soon as some other
projects are wrapped up.
