Hey Do!
Too bad people cannot hear this amp if they haven’t built one or got access to someone who has. Or for that matter, a SIT design. Really special sounding.

I was also thinking about The Eye, but not ZM's oneThe aperture lamp is done and I’m calling it the “The Eye of Z.M.”

The amp front panel looks very different in person. The proportions are very balanced and unfortunately small in the images. Also, the lamp is a very dark blue.
It’s my unabashed borrowing of Pass visual elements. 😍

The Singing Bush continues to impress me with incredible openness and richness of tone. I’ve compared it to:
DIY SET 45
Pass XA-25
DIY AJ
P-P KT-88
DIY F4 (yes, it can drive it 😂😂😂)
Hypex Nilai (kit)
Zenductor 2 with SiCs running on Lipo power
ACA Minis running on Lipo power
Velvet 2 SE
I’ve listened to this album for a long time, many, many times. I’ve never heard my loudspeaker have the tone of a DHT tube and the drive of SS. Truly remarkable.
Please build this amp!

Papa tells me some more toys are in the works….hopefully we see them this year. …
I think the gain structure of these dissimilar output devices and the SIT having its unusual concave curves makes these types of designs exotic sounding.

yeah, great music ........ great musicianship ........ and, speaking of recordings - damn demanding for system
if system not good enough, becomes congested in busier parts, while - if right system ....... it's just right sounding
Another sonic blockbuster of an album and the amp just separates Diana singing and playing the piano, while the upright bass, the five string do their own thing….
Oh, yeah, for example the Scryer 😍Or for that matter, a SIT design. Really special sounding.
Is yours a stereo amp, or is that one of a pair of mono blocks?The amp front panel looks very different in person. The proportions are very balanced and unfortunately small in the images. Also, the lamp is a very dark blue.

Very nice front panel! Quite nice indeed. I have sits, I guess it is high time to do one.
Sounds like this is a warm one, maybe warmer than XA252 it sounds. That would be the warmest amp
I have owned.

Unfortunately, watts into your listening room are watts, doesn’t matter how large your heatsink area is and how reasonable your temps are.
That’s why you have to have lower dissipation designs for the summer! More amps, more 🤩

Two days ago I ordered my air conditioner. Class A rules, even in summer 

We were in Salzburg in October of ‘12 and it was hot and humid. Cooled down nicely at night, though. Climbed the hill to Hohensalzburg and I was drenched with sweat when we got to the castle (could have taken the funicular but the photographic opportunity was better hiking up) So, ya, I can see you need would need it in the summertime.
