read the description. uh, what??

VFET/SIT 2SK182E, THF-51 AMPLIFIER with CINEMAG TRANSFORMER INPUT | eBay

Maybe a clone of the First Watt SIT-3 amplifiers.

Catchy name

Maybe it will still get them into trouble.

And they always ‘forget’ to show pics of the faceplate and chassis...

Think I already know what they look like.

 

[rolandong]

Comes from where the clone FW chassis started...
I suspect he visits this forum frequently and he could be reading this post/thread anytime now.

Oh no.
Not more bloody cloning.

 

[codyt]

Ha, there are even some copy/paste phrases from Nelson’s SIT-3 manual. Pretty ballsy.

ZM sit

 

[indra1]

Not quite, it has source resistors and no hall chips.

 

[juanitox]

ZM sit

it's well know that ZM was the first Clooner

 

[codyt]

I’d argue that ZM represents everything that’s right about this hobby, at least from what I’ve observed in my short time here.

 

[nicoch58]

maybe is kapout by

 

[MEPER]

I can see no SIT-4 at Firstwatt?
Last one is SIT-3.....so what is this SIT a clone of?
A coming SIT amp that has been leaked?

 

[Nelson Pass]

This is cloner from Thailand with long history, can't get SIT-1 transistor...

 

[MEPER]

SIT-1 are mono blocks and 5% efficiency……
Only one transistor pr. channel…..and each has its own box…..
It should be fine with 6 ohm 94 dB speakers...….
I like mono blocks…...

 

[codyt]

SIT-1 is the name of the transistor itself

It's an attempt of cloning the SIT3 amp but the output devices are different so it's just a diy amp using Nelson's ideas.
Nelson is the owner of the entire inventory of SIT 1 mosfets on the planet.
No fun for the cloners. Hahahaha

I have been enjoying SIT-1 "like" amp with Sony SIT, while imagining how wonderful FW SIT-1 is.
