The BA3 is what I settled on as my long term amp - it does a really good job sounding beautiful while still having an iron grip on the speaker drivers.

I've not heard the BA3, SIT, or any of the Alephs. The SIT is intriguing. May be way off, but I think of the J2 (and similar) vs. the SIT like Pentode vs. Triode.
I did build the ACA monoblocs kit and modified it by mounting within a toroidal power supply chassis (24v vs the stock 18v). They were quite nice, only 8 watts, and what got me to go for the J2.

If I were to venture back towards tubes, it might be with a kit of some sort.
Don't want to venture far off into SS land though. That would be off topic for this thread I think. :angel:
