Colonel Sanders Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) Further Information: Expression of interest for my First Watt F8. I’ll plea guilty of being a Pass fan boy. I’m putting my F8 as an EOI as I’m thinking about running with my SIT-3 and something like a Pass Labs XA-25. It come with the original box so shipping is not an issue.

Mendes Posted September 14, 2023 Posted September 14, 2023 Truly wonderful sounding amp when matched with the right speakers. They rarely come up for sale on the second-hand market in Australia. Their beauty is in the simplicity of the design!!! Dead quiet in operation. GLWTS Colonel 2

dafloro6601 Posted September 15, 2023 Posted September 15, 2023 Hi Colonel, This is a great amp indeed. I have heard this with Devore Fidelity Orangutan 0/96 speakers and sounds amazing. Was this unit imported from the US, or was it sourced locally and 240V from the get go. Danny
Colonel Sanders Posted September 15, 2023 Author Posted September 15, 2023 (edited) Unit was imported from the US. It’s been converted to 240v. Same for my SIT-3. They’re pretty much unobtainium here and I’m not a patient guy. SMP bought the last new unit available in Oz and I don’t think there was one for sale in Oz on the 2nd hand market yet. And this one is an expression of interest. A lukewarm “for sale eventually” thing. As you probably know, only a handful of F8 made their way to Oz. Now there is a handful plus one.
