I listened at length, and preferred the old RS-1 to these, as the SR-200 sounded a bit bright and harsh and sounded a bit more distant (less forward). Again, not my type of music (NIN is what I listened to), but gave me a sense of what the Grado's do well. I think the Zana Deux is above my MPX3 SE by a decent margin, the main difference being the speed that this amp seems to have in spades. My MPX3 SE is pretty much optimized for the HD-650 and sounds pretty mediocre on other cans, as I'm using a bright edgy tube as driver (Amperex 7062). Perhaps next meet I'll have more time with the Zana Deux, and better comparisons to the Single Power once I get some teflon v-caps installed. This should even up the playing field a bit more, as IMHO these bring the MPX3 SE very close to the Supra which probably edges past the Zana Deux in the limited comparisons I've done between both. I think purk might have commented on this comparison as well somewhere.
