Well, after reading all the great things about the MPX3 here, I couldn't help myself and decided to take the plunge into tubes. I got basically a maxed out unit w/ Solen III, Black Gate caps, paper in oil caps, Cardas & Neutrik jacks, dual inputs and preamp outs. I'm using the unit w/ a DAC1 and a pair of HD 650s.
I've had the unit for a week now and this has to be the greatest experience in my audio life. I know people have reviewed and described this amp in the past so I'll keep this short, but to sum up - this thing is incredible. The best analogy I can think of is that it sounds as if my 650s had been sleeping until I plugged them into the MPX3. I have never heard such clear highs, low but detailed bass, and the midrange - wow! I now understand the meaning of such terms as transparency and airiness. The first night after it arrived I sat down and listened for hours, disc after disc. Needless to say, I'm now a tube and MPX3 convert. Also, I must give thanks to Mikhail - he has been great and his customer service is top notch.
