haha this is getting very interesting.... Andrew B. - - by NAPA are u referring to the auto parts store? and if so, how much are they going for?

i dunno....herbie's stuff looks mighty cool...but i am a bit skeptical. how can a small piece of plastic around the top of the tube absorb vibration? I thought it would go on the base of the tube between the amp and the tube itself. I mean, my listening environment has virtually no noticeable...

haha thanks so much guys for your input! Where can i get and or view these tube dampening thingies?

Hey all... just wondering if Tube coolers are a die hard necessity for the new MPX-3 amps. I know that Mikhail designed the amp so that the tubes aren't pushed too hard...but the amount of heat it generates scares me . Apparently parts connextion has a sale on the 6sn7 coolers, and their...

hahha...damn....the pics that i have shown you are only the tip of the iceberg...i have this REALLY cool poster behind my door that's rather graphic. Unfortunately i cannot post it here But thanks for the replies though hehe!

hahah thanks everyone! Glad you liked the pics...due to request...here's the upclose picture of the gorgeous yamila! and here's another shot of the MPX-3 w/ the lovely jessica alba.... Here are some of my illustrations i've done years ago.... and here's a pic of my entire...

hehe i have a nice share of smut in the room...and since i have so many mags....gotta put them to use right?

hey guys...take a look at this beauty! are the tubes in the right positions? on the far left is the sylvania 6sn7GT driver tube, and in the middle and on the right are the stock electro harmonix 6sn7eh tubes.

Thanks for the input...god this amp is TRULY incredible...I got it yesterday and I'm still in the "burn in" process - - I'll definitely keep you guys posted with the sonic improvements over the hpa-1 in a few weeks once this sucker is fully burned in!

hey everyone, just a quick question...out of the 3 tube inputs, which socket is for the driver position? Also, what do the other two sockets do exactly? I'm completely new to tube amps and would like to develop a better understanding of the basic operating principles of this marvelous amp...

ahh ladies and gentlemen...i'm COUNTING down the days for the arrival of the stock MPX-3. Mikhail has notified me that my amp will ship tomorrow Another thing - - he says that the amp comes with Electro Hamonix 6SN7EH tubes...has anyone had any experiences with these? How do they compare...

Level 1+ Music Hall MMF CD-25 w/ LC audio XO3 Superclock

hehe i'll keep that in mind! But before playing with tubes i think I'll be playing around with aftermarket power cords and sending it back to Mikhail for the upgraded parts, which can possibly leave me no choice but to live in a cardboard box out here in Westwood by August hahah!

...i've went balls out...i've placed an order for the stock singlepower MPX-3 amplifier...it should arrive within two to three weeks. thanks so much everyone for your input--I greatly appreciate it (although my wallet is still in a state of shock )

Mexican restaurant: El Tepeyac Cafe (also known as Manuel's) in East LA they got these MONSTER sized genuine burritos...simply awesome food for the buck...can't go wrong if you like real mexican food.... Italian Restaurant: Petrillo's Pizza in San Gabriel (on Valley Blvd) very very...

Hahaha yeah...we're gonna need LOTS of deodorant cause Arcadia gets pretty warm by that time of the year... So what's the head count? If we all chip in i know of a good italian and a mexican restaurant in which we could order food from. The portions are huge and the food is fantastic! We...

Hello everyone, I'll be bringing the following: Phones: Grado HP-2 w/ high bandwidth cable Amp: Grado HPA-1 Source: Apple iPOD & Level 1+ Music Hall CD-25 w/ LC Audio XO3 clock upgrade Power related stuff: Signalcable Digital AC power cord, P300 power plant w/ Multiwave I and...

Thanks so much everyone! I currently have a Level 1+ Music Hall w/ the LC Audio XO3 clock upgrade, and am using cardas golden reference ICs along with a Signalcable Digital AC powercord. Lastly, I am also using a P300 Power regenerator. So I'm assuming any of these amps you guys have listed will...

...which amp would you consider for a pair of Grado HP-2s and possibly Sennheiser HD650s? I'm debating between the customized Gilmore V-2SE (for $679) or Ray Samuel's Emmeline HR-2. I currently own the Grado HPA-1 and i feel that the bass is a bit on the weak side...Furthermore after reading all...

hmm...i wonder how ModWright's mod package compares to PartsConnexion's system....Maybe somewhere down the road i'll try it out sometime and see how much better the tube outputs are compared to the OPA 627s.

oh by the way, i got my stuff modded by chris johnson of Parts Connexion in canada...it wasn't cheap, but the quality of the mod is fantastic and the turnaround time was less than two weeks (i shipped via FedEx International economy both ways) shipping is about $55 each way if it is insured...

i haven't heard of the 222es, but i recently got the LC Audio XO3 clock installed in mine with about 24 hours of burn in....like everyone else here, I feel that the CD25 is truly an amazing machine for the money. w/ the clock mod and the level 1+, this machine is truly unbeatable for the money...

thanks so much guys!
