I'd also contact Mikhail from Singlepower. The PPX3-SLAM is a favorite for Sennheiser owners. If you don't believe me, ask sacd lover

The PPX3 is a Singlepower Amp, right? What is the PPX3-SLAM? I was looking on Singlepowers web-site, but I might be missing something.

It isn't listed on the Singlepower website. It is a different version of the PPX3 that uses 5687 output tubes. The 5687 output tubes can output much more current than the 6ns7 tubes.

A PPX3 SLAM is an amp that us tuned such that you can use 5687s tubes on it.

Just contact Singlepower for more info.

Thank you everyone, you have been very helpful. I will let you know how my untrained ears receive. I went from just checking out a web site, to spending over $2100 before the amp. From cans to a new source, bless all your hearts I am addicted.
