Can anybody tell me more about it?

Also, does Mickail post here, if so what is his member name?

Mikail posts here very rarely. He uses his name.
I have also heard he is developing a small transportable amp using some form of mini tube. Maybe the same one used in his phono stages?

I don't log on very much in this time of the year, but I just had to add the MPX3 SLAM SE to the list of un-official Singlepower "models" in post #1.

It seems several members, either has one, or will shortly take delivery of one, hence it is not just a one-off. Happy listening guys, and thanks Earl et al to have given birth to yet another amp wonder.

Please let me know if there are any errors in the short descriptions of the different models.

Well Glod,

The Supra-XTC is in the works! So you will be adding another new entry in a few months.

Ehh - XTC? I take it does not refer to the infamous Dutch export product. Perhaps an amp for night long dancing?

The balanced MPX3 is a fact. Despite several produced, curiously not much spoken of. As a matter of fact, I have only seen the specs of one specific example. Nevertheless, IMHO, a clear milestone in the un-official Singlepower product range. Balanced tube amplification to the people!

I think it is high time to introduce the use of adapters, then especially octal to noval (5687) "SLAM" one's, in the list. To me it seems the factory installed noval socket is on the decline in favour of the adapter. I have tried to shortly explain the SLAM designation in post #1. Please correct me if I got it wrong or was unclear.

For a modest standard MPX3, 12/6SN7GT loving, owner is the last coulple of months of development in the Singlepower range nothing short of mind boggeling! I have tried to follow all the latest developments, but I would not get surprised if I got someting wrong in the latest edits of post #1 of this thread. Please tell me, or send me a PM, with corrections.

There seems to be this Singlepower 6528 (inofficial) in its infancy as well. It certainly looks like a candidate to the list! Tell the forum about it.

Good work. However the tube adapters are not exclusive to the Extreme. If anything they are a part of the SP tube rolling thread or worthy of their own seperate section/notation as they are compatible with any SP amp that has an octal socket (and compatible keeping in mind the specs of the total load on the transformer and circuit).

The SP amps using 6528 tubes are in their infancy. AFAIK they are still being developed.

Thanks. I have made some changes in the footnotes.

MPX3 Configuration

I am interested in the Singlepower MPX3. I don't have much technical experience with the various upgrades available listed on the website.

I am hoping that someone would be willing to recommend upgrades to the basic model in a bang for the buck type of order.

Right now I am projecting a budget of $1200.

I would like to get the pre amp out modification, but I am hoping that this can be added later due to buget constraints.

About my preferences: I definately prefer a tube pre that leans more towards the tube side as oppossed to the dryer SS side.

My primary source is TT/vinyl>Hageraman tube phono pre>headphone amp> Senn 580 HD (600 modded). I like the 580/600 sound, but will be experimenting with other low impedence cans. My secondary source is
Redwine iModded iPod playing lossless files.

In order of preference I listen to predominantly classic late 60's- early 70's rock, then classical chamber music, some easy listening (?? Mary Chapin Carpenter/Norah Jones, Van Morrison type stuff) and a little blues & jazz.

If this is inappropriate to this thread, let me know and I'll see if I can get it moved to its own thread.

Thanks

What is a SE?

I have searched and searched and I must be blind because I know that I have seen it before.

What exactly is a SLAM SE. What are the upgrades over a standard MX3 that it includes?

From what I gather a FULL SE configuration includes:

Slam Adapters
Supra Transformer
Re-biased for 6bl7 output types
Stepped Attenuator

Is this right? What else is in a SLAM SE over a stock MPX3?
