I tried the single ended thing and enjoyed them until I realized they made everything sound too similar. Yes, it was a nice golden sound but you eventually grow tired of that fingerprint.
The FWs eliminate tube condition anxiety.
I have hot-rodded the SIT1s by putting in a small input cap to act as a high pass filter around 400 hz and the output caps are removed and the capacitance needed for the speaker level 500 hz high pass inserted.
I used a copper Vcap on the input and the DYNAMICAP at the speaker. Was using Russian paper oils but the DYNAMICAPs are better once they get some age on them.
The amp is spacious and true in tone.
My FW amps are my last amplifiers.
