Get your First Watt SIT-3 now?
I received my Sit-3 and fresh out of the box it was pretty rough, grainy and lacking in detail.  But with some hours on, WOW, what a transformation!  I am only at maybe 10 hrs now, but very impressed with it and even though I have a return offered...

I have one coming to me, serial number 3937 ordered this week. Not sure how that relates to your number 107. 
Audio note ANK Kits EL84 Vs Audio Note Oto PP
The ANK stuff is excellent.   Take your time with the build or have them build it for you.

^^^ I haven’t heard any "expectation bias" regarding TC. I have, however, heard a ton of UNexpectation bias though ... all from those who haven’t seen the product, touched the product, heard the product or used the product. :-)If I heard the sam...

To those who have purchased the product: have you tried any blind testing on the product?    Perhaps this could be a test, listen to the same passage of music 10 times.  Have someone apply the substance at SOME point and see if you can identify wh... 
Audio Research Ref 6 work with Jeff Rowland 725
the general rule is 10X output impedance of preamp is the minimum acceptable input impedance of the amp.  Ref6 600 X 10 = 6k.  The Rowland input impedance is 40k, so should not be any issue.  There are very few amps it would not work fine with.  I...

Oh, ok Geoff. Thanks for straightening me out on that. I just started this audio thing 40 years ago... I depend on wise people like yourself to tell me what I hear.

Forget cleaned, there are no tests even against unplugged and replugged connectors, which I know does produce an improvement.  That has been my biggest rub on the whole thing.  But that does not invalidate my point.  I checked with my moderator.

If one uses just a bit, over what time period does the remaining product dry up in the syringe?  Is it important to use most of the product over what time period?

I tend to swap gear around often, since I have two preamps I enjoy (ref6 and Allnic L3000) and different amps.  So as a practical matter, would this be effective for a gear swapper like myself?  I stick with the same speakers so I assume I would t... 
The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses ....
Ah, so that means you have to pay for your repair?  Ouch!  I always stick with ARC tubes.   Then if there is an incident it is covered.  There is a fair amount of info online about the Svetlana 6550's tendency to arc in ARC preamps.  No, I would n...

Tools, was that the original ARC supplied 6550?  How many hours were on it? 
The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses ....
Op, just responding to you since you seem to be “calling me out”.  I haven’t really been paying much attention to this thread.  I take it from your response that your blue fuses were free to you, as a beta tester, although you did not actually say...

lalitk, just google Sain Line Systems and you will find them.
