Hi, I'm sure this has been asked & answered before, but my searches turned up thousands of hits which were misses. I have a Cary SLP90 pre-amp and would like to know the best way to convert it to a headphone amp. Currently I'm using a RadioShack(r) dual RCA to 1/4" heaphone socket. This was...

My MPX3 took forever to be delivered, but when I got it it was the most exquisite sound I'd ever heard from recorded music. Worked mostly flawlessly for ~1yr. It had a special circuit to sense and set heater voltages automatically. This worked ok, but often there wasn't enough power. He...

$2200 in the form of an MPX3 in for repair. There was some communcation involving things like "getting around to it," "let's talk about shipping it back," etc. Then nothing. I am sad. -A-

My v3 was the best sound I had until I got my MPX3. But... I find my unmodded v3 to be a *tad* harsh and analytical. I've used it with SR-80s (mucho listening fatigue), HD595s (pretty good, but I don't think they're broken in yet), and HD580s (best sound of all, especially after breakin, but...

I have a Singlepower MPX3 SLAM + Ultimate Power Supply + Automagic Heater Voltage(tm), and the 580s (<1 year old) sound fantastic. My mods to the MPX3 raised the price quite a bit (ca $2k), but I have faith that the base model($995) will sound good, as will the PPX3($685), a lower priced model...

Have you checked out some of the major gaming web sites? They have tons of reviews of this kind of thing. I use a pair of Razer Barracuda 5.1 phones and they do a pretty good job. I only use them for gaming, tho. Razer also has a sound card and a funky looking "Advanced Desktop Audio" system...

Since you're looking for a specific sound, I would absolutely recommend a Singlepower. With Mikhail's amazing support for tube rolling it is possible to get almost any sound imaginable. Tubes are the ultimate tone control. The MPX3 has the ability to use a number of different 6SN7 compatible...
