Congrats, Mikhail. I'm warming up my credit card...

the more i see, the more i like. there's a lot of detail gone into layout and construction. well done, very nice indeed!

I noticed that on the Singlepower website that you have to call for pricing on all of the amps now. I'm not sure if Mikhail is changing his price structure due to the new PCB based amps or what.

Been away for a few days and just saw this thread.

I'm happy for Mikhail because this should be great for business. I assume the Supra will still be wired P2P?

What's the ETA on the new amps? Also, will the external appearance change at all? I wouldn't mind a more slim form factor that fits in my audio cabinet...

Just noticed this thread. The new boards look very nice and they should help him reduce labor costs a bit and to fulfill orders faster so that means we can have even more fellow Singlepower owners

The case is the same. The only difference is the boards inside, instead of P2P. ETA is now. Mikhail has the boards in stock. I'm auditioning a circuit board MPX-3 as I type.

I thought that you said the last time, that only Mikhail was left on your list...Anyway we know of that boards and there are even some pics of them in one meet IIRC.....two thumbs up for Singlepower Audio!!!!!

That was until i saw real pictures with extra added "shielding" and a
few other items of the real units. Big difference between deliberately
poor photography, with lousy contrast ratio and decent high resolution
pictures.

So is Mikhail still doing P2P on some of his amps? I know a long ways back it was discussed that only the PPX3 was getting the board treatment because Mikhail believed that P2P was better sonically. I'm also in agreement with the don't fix what isn't broken comment made early, but hey, this stuff looks infinitely better.

Whatever became of the whole "Pure Class A" or not claim, as well as the possibility that these designs were inspired by circuits on Head-Wize, out of curiousity? I don't want to restart a firestorm of a debate, but things were locked down when we still had people arguing that at certain volumes the amp is class A and at others its AB, etc.
