So Sorry to hear that your mom passed away. Mine did in 2007. I still think about her often. The pain and the loss never go away. It just lessens overtime
Nelson always gives a great interview and talks about where he got his start at ESS 50 years ago in 1972. My first speakers were a pair of ESS AMT 1 Heil Air Motion Transformers in 1972 or 1973 when they first came out. Female vocals through the AMT were so realistic. Joan Baez and others gave the allusion of natural realism which was uncanny - no hint of artificial HiFi sound. Cost back then was I Think about $1,100??
Novato, California is Joe Cohen The Lotus Group. He’s a good guy to work with! he’s an importer for many brands Oyaide’, Acoustic Revive, Audio Replas, Acrolink, Feastrex, etc
Besides Altec 755a, or WE 755a (WE/Altec 756b) are pretty decent “full range” speakers that IMHO sound absolutely great within their range. If you get a chance listen to the WE TA-4189. Question for Nelson, many radar and dish transponders used your static induction transistor, of course they run at big voltage, have you any experience in rigging this big bad SIT and running them at considerably lower voltage and current as a one stage amp?
Mikey, glad you did not ask about his class D products. haha. Great sound is the goal Pass achieves. Rigorous listening tests. Simple circuits. Need to get all the really odd, funny stories on video for posterity. Nelson is very cautious about what he reveals.
He'd say it's great. There's a place for everything. He kind of made that evident when talking about the different amp circuit types and class. Different strokes for different folks was his tack.

Can confirm… VFETs & SITs are amazing. Best I’ve ever heard actually.
Edit: great interview! Would love another round with him!
Classic character. Jovial soul for sure. Appreciate the exposure and chats.

I've been loving the interview episodes. GREAT job.
Thanks Jordan !

Hi Bob, thanks for the feedback.. Im pretty sure you can ask that question on the forums at his First Watt website or the DIY Store...
This is great Mikey!
Thanks Ryan !
Thank you. Fantastic!
You bet Bob !

LOL, Right ? Nelson is great shit ....
Mikey-you’re killing us dude! 🤡 How many more parts are you planning for Nelson’s interview?
One left !
so SITs' are dead and gone for the future? I wish you would have let him finish what he was saying. Thanks for the interview, gotta love Nelson!
NO. he is making SIT amps with much larger industrial SIT's that make 4 times the power. wait for part 3.
@@OCDHIFiGuy I believe you're talking about these ( IXTN40P50P P-Channel & IXFN140N30P N-CHannel ) just chunky MOSFETs. I hope I'm wrong
your a great interviewer Mikey.
Thanks man !
WOW...
Nice!
Goog to know that Gandalf is an audiophile.
Nice interview but should’ve asked his thoughts on class D.
He'd say it's great. There's a place for everything. He kind of made that evident when talking about the different amp circuit types and class. Different strokes for different folks was his tack.
Give it away now.
Chris Witmer!
There it is !
Mr Pass should lower his price tags on his amps!
First Watt... Google it.
