.. this is the last headamp I will ever need to buy, short of upgrading to another Singlepower amp. It just arrived, so I present to you, the Singlepower MPX3-SLAM (with Black gate cathodes and Jensen PIO as further upgrades):
I'm the worst photographer in the world, but what the hell!
The HF-1 is watching as Katatonia's Finest, Viva Emptiness, adorn this marvellous piece of audio machinery:
An overhead shot of the amp:
Seen from the front:
As for the sound. What can I say? Pure audio bliss. A fantastic impact, although I do hear the amp needs a fair amount of burn-in. The treble just ain't like it should be yet. This amp is simply fantastic in every aspect, and I can't wait to start tuberolling a little. For now I am just gonna listen to it for a while with the stock tubes and sort of taking it all in. There's so much to listen to all over again, due to the much more hard-hitting and detailed impact of this amp over my previous (the Lite + DPS). As much as I love the Gilmore, the MPX3-SLAM blows it straight outta the water. Of course, it costs more than twice the amount of the Lite+DPS, so I was expecting at least some improvements. Boy am I happy!
It took about 7 weeks to finally get this baby and for anyone wondering if it is worth the wait (and money, it will set you back some $1300-1400 or so), I can only say hell yes!
