5U/500 should work for that , both space wise and heat wise
what is your idea for using 4 channels?
what is your idea for using 4 channels?
I know the SissySITs can be parelleled for double the amperage, but i want to try a phase-splitter(same CMOQ-4H) in front of each channel to see if i could get double the voltage instead. Or, use it for bi-amping with just 4 regular channels, possibly doing a active crossover. Possibly both, switchable 4/2 channel mode.
Also, because a huge box looks cool!

It's 33 degrees out here now. Without air conditioning, the amplifier is about 50 degrees. With air conditioning around 40 ... 4U/400 Modushop chassis.
If the heatsinks are 6 cm from the floor temperature is reduced by 5 degrees.
Above the amplifier must not be anything 10cm at least.

if you bridge it , say bye to nice 2nd harmonic dominance
though , maybe you'll like it that way too
if you think of biamping , there is always possibility to use slightly lesser Iq for upper drivers dedicated channels , but I wouldn't use lesser voltage for rails ..... capacity of OS parts is nicer with proper rails
if you bridge it , say bye to nice 2nd harmonic dominance
That sounds bad but still interesting... 😉 Yeah two SissySITs in antiphase would cancel the 2nd harmonic if i'm getting you correctly, so 3rd would dominate?
I'm thinking increasing Iq way up instead, get some fans in there. Have a safety circuit in case the P goes short or open, i feel the SITs are worth burning out a few P chans in the pursuit of audio nirvana
Heck, might go 4 channels per side 5U/500 and water cooled for winter, pipe it into my radiant floor heating. 😎
But for sane uses, it'd be great to run the tweeter amps at a lower power.

be wild , but be clever

better safe than sorry
Sir, I have a cunning plan
I heard that Japanese made 20L fuel canister , but size of a matchbox ...... and I'm going to make even smaller one ...
want few more clever ones .......
seriously , I can't even think how to start answering on that post of yours

now seriously - if you want Audio Nirvana ........ make SIT1 ,or SIT2, or SIT3, or DEFiSIT , or SissySIT , or Papa's 50W SE SIT amp from BAF , or poorman's iteration of same with mosfet pucks ....... find proper spks for any of them , and enjoy nirvana
or go with any insane route , but under condition that you know what you're doing ..... or you'll burn some serious holes in pockets
at least invest in some decent loudspeaker protection standalone circuits , to keep them safe

or just go and buy SH EAR859 , and enjoy ( again , with adequate speakers)
it is not on par with SissySIT , but damn close, as something you dindn't invest in both elbow grease and passion , as you necessary must with any proper DIY effort

Sissy SIT is better then Jolida SJ-302a 🙄
I compared them side by side.
I did not have a more expensive device to compare.
Like EAR or Shindo 😀
It would be a huge list - to say from of which device is play better.. (among them SS devices with many zeros)
I've been listening to Classical music today.
After a couple of Brandenburg concertos you will be in a state of shock.
Sissy improve sonically after about a 20-to-45-minute warmup. So the classics are amplified at every single level of gain equally. It's not like solid-state when the Lento comes and the tones become quieter that you have to adjust the volume knob to hear it better. Quiet parts in the foreground well-sounded at any sound level - from zero to maximum. The solid-state design tendency is to thin out textural weight depending on the strength of the signal. Here, the texture of each instrument is equals the mass to the its density.
The harmonic phases at Sissy goes in completely different lanterns from tubes and solid-state. They are bent under other angles. So the sound is a second dimension been compared to both.
Where the sound is typically watered down with solid-state, here with Sissy perception of textural tone density is in the right place easy and relaxed. Sissy is grain-free tone structure. It has all the possible features that improvelong-term listenability.. The tubes often have grainless pristine textures in upper midrange. Here are upper midrange is painted like on silk. But at incredible speeds without overt and overwhelming. The sweetness and warm tonality shifts between 2th , 3th and 4th harmonics. Textural flavor and coloration are very much dependent on the connected pre-amplifier. Sissy takes on the preamp’s personality and delivers it as a clone.
So, If there is no esoteric preamp (of at least 6,000 euros in line or DIY preamp that is in 'Spitzenklasse') - better not to connect to the amplifier.

Sounds alluring. What speakers do you use?
Did you also test with denser Rock or electronic music? I listen to 70% classical, 10% electronic and 30% death metal.
So 110% and I am trying to find an amp that does all three well...

On electronic music, you just see - how much speed is injected into bass - light speed
For example ---> YouTube
It should be called Lightspeed SIT
Because that is a description in two words....
I have Tannoy - Dorset T185

I recently discovered that on ebay, AliExpress, there are already several merchants, stealing my pictures, selling THF-51S 2SK182ES, which sells fakes, counterfeit goods, refurbished goods.
I am on ebay, please look for: PRAS1170
At AliExpress, please look for: MEIJIECHENGWEI Store
I assure you that in China, brand new, most authentic, authentic, THF-51S, 2SK182ES, only my PRAS1170 has this productSome people in China have old, used, and there will be no NOS, NEW(Some merchants have already sold refurbished, reprinted, processed electroplated THF-51S 2SK182, and they treat these as new NOS for sale)
Please be careful to buy, I don't want everyone to spend a lot of money, the goods to be purchased will be an electroplated, printed product.
Old used THF-51S 2SK182ES, as long as it is measured, can also be used, I suggest that everyone, when buying goods, let the business, send pictures, after you confirm, in the purchaseI have some old used 2SK182ES.THF-51S (measured, is good) need cheap, can find me,
thank you

Is this fake ? 26$ piece.

Thank you pras1170 for selling me another set. Need to finish this amp but require extra play money for a new DIYstore chassis. Also, with Vfet kit to be released, need to have funds to jump on that as well. Could cannibalize F5, but think this one deserves its own case and dual mono power supply. F5 has nice Dual Peter Daniels Power supplies, fancy rectifiers and dual 300 VA Anteks....but the F5 was first Pass DIY project I built so it will live on.
Got the additional set of Sits in case I fry one getting this up and running which would be a shame! Always good to have a spare, and pras is running low.

Russellc,
I did the same thing of buying a pair of SITs before they are gone. I’m running teabags M2C amp using dual mono Juma's Easy-Peasy Capacitance Multipliers. It’s dead quiet and sounds great, so I don’t want to take it apart. Will most likely save for another chassis.
Can’t wait to try the SissySIT!
