    if any one listened to those amps and compaired them please share.

    you want like 'the best' ss amp ever built?

    because then I'm sorry to tell you that there ain't such a thing as the best.

    it's all subjective...

    If you're looking for the closest thing to an SET in a transistor design, look no further than the First Watt F3. It is an amazingly sophisticated, yet simple single stage designed and hand built by Nelson Pass. It is the only commercial power JFET amplifier available today. Power JFETs operate more like triodes and this amp is run single ended Class A.

    First Watt F3

    The only *downside* is that like SET amps, it has low power (15 watt) output.

    very cool amp, thanks for the repply
    it would be perfect for my speakers for sure

    mm for the other amps comparisons maybe we could look for :

    1. Impression , is it sounding right ?
    2. is the frequency of music full , realistic, enjoyable to listen
    is it fast enough to reproduce evrything ,
    I heared that the highest frequency it can give a flat response the faster the amp circuit is
    ...
    3. is it a keeper ? enjoyable in long term.
