thing that you notice when the amp is plugged in. The effect is a little intoxicating. ...the SIT
seems to bring a lot more control & detail to the speaker. The tube sweetness is present, yet
the presentation is very clean. This is like a very nice low distortion SET. The SIT presents
details, but with proper dynamic contrast. Details do not poke you in the eye, they just
naturally unfold as part of the music.
Do simple SIT amplifiers sound the same as single-ended Triodes (SETs)? That would be a
matter of opinion. Without an output transformer with its significant limitations, the SIT has a
bandwidth and distortion edge. On the other hand, some people like the sound of their
transformers.
Me, I like to listen to the
sound
of different amplifiers. I don't see a practical point in actually
duplicating a SET amplifier. The SIT gives me an opportunity to listen to the best that a single
gain device can do. Surrounded only by a few well-chosen passive parts, this transistor
speaks with a single voice.
Now the following is for your protection.
Do not defeat the AC line Earth ground connection on the amplifier power cord. It provides an
extra barrier to prevent potential shock hazard. Do not replace the fuse with a type other than
specified.
Do not operate the amplifier outside in the weather, or in and around water or anything
resembling water. If you spill a drink in the amplifier or if your dog/cat/child urinates on it, turn
it off immediately, unplug it, and do not operate it until cleaned by a qualified technician.
If something gets loose or rattles around inside or smells funny, or if you can’t touch the heat
sinks for 5 seconds or so, then turn it off, unplug it from the wall, and contact First Watt.
There are no user serviceable parts inside. Do not open the amplifier, and if you do anyway,
don’t operate it with the cover off. There are hazardous voltages inside. If you need to
change the operating AC voltage, contact First Watt. We are much happier helping you solve
problems so that we can be certain that it’s done properly. If you are far away and don’t want
to ship the product for repair, we will assist your technician with information and parts.
