Well, I'll be happy to take one for the team. If anyone wants to send me their ZD, I've got a Supra XLR and MPX3 Slam currently on hand for comparison. A sacrifice but I guess I can help out this one time.

Send that MPX3 Slam my way. So I can do the pregame with an EC2A3 match up. I'll even cover the cost of shipping.

The base MPX3 SLAM is $1199. The all out maxxed SLAM SE is $2199 but includes a stepped attenuator, blackgate cathode caps and an upgraded high voltage power supply .... thats essentially a Supra power supply minus the huge resevoir caps. I also believe a high/ low voltage switch is now standard. I had mine built with the normal volume pot and cathode caps which dropped the price to around $1775. If the Zana is going to $1990 as reported the SLAM SE can be slightly more or slightly less expensive .... and the SLAM SE includes tubes.

thanks for the price reply.
Isn't the 5687 probably the most common tube used in the slam and it's usually priced under $4.00 a tube? I wish I could hear one of those MPX3 SLAMs.

Yes, but Earl is talking about the second ZD run, which is priced higher than you paid.

Unless you're willing to sell yours for $1600.

Most of the good 5687s are in the $15-20 range these days and rising.

That's still a relatively inexpense and reasonably priced tube. Good tubes usually cost more, no doubt.

I just bought some 5687's for $6.10 on sale at AES. But I think they are sold out now except for the 5687wb's. The 6bl7gta's run $7-8 each almost anywhere. I bought some the other day for $5 each .... nice black plates too. I always seem to prefer blackplates regardless of the tube.

The holy grail of 2A3s. Just a bit more than those good to best 5687s.

Speaking of tubes 909, does your 2a3 use a 6sl7? If so, which ones have you tried and liked? BTW, I was looking at an old Glass Audio mag. and saw a Moth ad intro'ing the Si2a3.
