SIT-3

[Extreme_Boky]

That’s even sillier than using Semisouth in the ACA

How's the sound?

What is the recommended extra 3 to 6dB gain stage for autoformer based 11dB gain amp for who needs 15dB/18dB gain?

 

[Zen Mod]

autoformer , what else

 

[Dennis Hui]

Yeah...Iron-something... 🙂

 

[plasnu]

Do you guys mean another autoformer gain stage?

input-buffer-autoformer(+6dB)-buffer-autoformer(+12dB)-VFET(follower)-output

 

[Zen Mod]

why not

never enough of good thing

 

[plasnu]

If I choose to use an opamp as a buffer (like M2x), how about opamp as a 6 dB gain stage instead, or any other ideas?

A. input-opamp(buffer)-autoformer(+6dB)-opamp(buffer)-autoformer(+12dB)
B. input-opamp(+6dB)-autoformer(+12dB)
C. other?

 

[Zen Mod]

if you opt for OPamp , just make it with 6db gain and that's it

Don’t want to get off this threads topic...short answer is I don’t believe my system is optimized yet enough to make a judgement. My current drivers don’t have the efficiency necessary to take full advantage of the ACA, nor have I tried a preamp with any gain...only DCB1.

When I get things sorted I will be making comparisons between the Semisouth and both Vishal/Harris IRFP240 for giggles. That’s why I made sockets and remotely mounted the transistors.

Honestly, I’m not sure my old ears are capable of hearing a difference. It might be the same thing as asking someone what a new dish tastes like...”tastes like chicken”.

I just called Reno and put myself "on the list".
I'm wondering if the SIT 3 has enough brass to drive the Feastrex 5dnf speakers?

 

[Zen Mod]

not brass

Cojones , it have !

 

[Phil Townsend]

Bold as brass...��

 

[Dennis Hui]

Brass balls? 🙂

Anyway, I suspect it will be a potent combination.

Any guarantee you actually get one?...price for membership?

EDIT: Forget I asked... $4K ...OUCH!!!...I’m happy with DIY table scraps

 

[Phil Townsend]

On the list

Next week I get one of two new knees... So, I figured if they don't kill me, I should have something to live for. The Sit 3 will be that something. So damn the price, save the solder and step up to the plate.

I shall not Pass!

 

[Zen Mod]

oh yeah!

I'm quiet confident it can after hearing Yeo driving his pair of Feastrex in Hedlund horn with just a couple of watts.

And that means that AER, Cube, Rethm, Lowther and Voxativ fans can add the SIT-3 to their list of prospective amp options. Happy days with another precious gift from master Nelson!

and Mighty ZM is adding - all those fans of something gutsier , as 8 or 10 or 12 or 15" Tannoy duals are ....... in fact entire universe of non FiFi speakers

The World is your Oyster , being one of 250 lucky ones , having speakers chosen by same amount of care

Tantric amp ; definitely orgasmic , but not sexual ....... and definitely without short prescribed use dosage
