I think it's fair to point out that "X" in Mayan is pronounced "sh" . . .

Not to stir the pot any!

You need to use them with a nice headphone amp from Schiit Audio.

"And yes, that is our name. And yes, it’s pronounced exactly like you think. Shee-tah. It’s a proud German name, host to a long line of audio engineers who slaved away in crumbling Teutonic fortresses as lightning lashed the dark lands outside, working to perfect the best amplification devices in the world . . . Or, well, no. Yep, Schiit is our name, and it’s pronounced exactly like you think. As in “Hey man, that’s some really cool Schiit.” Or, “We like music and Schiit.” And now that we have your attention, can we show you some Schiit?"

From the Schiit web site.

Hi,
Does anyone have a circuit for the Xits X50?
Xits is defunct and I cannot find Mike Koski to buy an amp or a schematic.
I know it's based the Vox AC50, but Mr. Koski has woven some magic into the circuit and made it especially his. It seems like the amp and tone I've been dreaming of since I was a kid. It's absolutely beautiful.
Below is a link of what it can do.
Thank you all and best wishes. - M

He is a member here and I bought his E-caps, box caps, and tubular caps and can surely sell you some. :D

None are the nice red caps in the photos.

I called Michael and he doesn't have the schematics anymore they were stored on a program that he doesn't have access to.

He said the amp is nothing like a Vox AC50 other then power section that is why it sounds so different.
Follow the pre of Xits 10 and use your imagination from there.

I invited him to come on Ampgarage and discuss Xits amps but he doesn't want to.

Thank you very much for your help.
I think you understand my obsession with this amp.
I hope everything is going well with you.
