Mini-Review: JMoney replacement Leather Ear Pads for Denon D2000 D5000 D7000
I just put on the jmoney pads--it took less than 1 minute. I immediately prefer the sound. Tightens up the bass-exactly what I was looking for. The comfort, though, will take some getting used to. The smaller ear holes are not ideal for my big ears........- mrwinick

Tube choice
After getting some more info it became clear to me that 6bl7 tubes are NOT appropriate for the mpx3. (not a smart risk) The good news is that a TS 2c51 and 2x 6gu7's also sounds absolutely fantastic with the denons.- mrwinick

Anyone else amazed by how well the hd600 scale?

I bought the hd600 almost 6 years ago because the reviews were not only great, but the consensus was that as your components improve you can get more and more out of them. I've made a lot of changes over the years and with every change the 600's sound better and better. I don't believe I'm...- mrwinick

That is one nice looking amp. I'd be afraid to listen to it though. I might like it too..... Anyway, I just pulled the 2c51 and replaced it with a 6gu7. It's a little less exciting than the 2c51, but still packs a punch. Seems a little more 'distant' than the 2c51. Maybe more air? Seems to...- mrwinick

I consider the Supra to be customized/upgraded. The high voltage options and supposedly upgraded transformer options seem to have been a HUGE problem. After reading hundreds of posts I just am not sure that I came across problems with 'stock' ppx3 or mpx3's. Was your mpx3 stock? I've...- mrwinick

Yep. Maybe you can answer a related question for me. I've seen all the problems with the Extreme as well as with many highly customized/upgraded SP amps. Have there been reports of problems with stock ppx3 or mpx3 amps?- mrwinick
