Guess I have plenty of time to wait then

I ordered mine (6cg7 w/ Solen stage 1 upgrade) 1 week ago.

Great, I have sex on the way. It has just shipped!

My PPX3 took about two and half weeks from ordering to shipping. I think they are very popular at the moment.

Congrats on your PPX3! I may be getting one at some point after I receive my MPX3-6cg7 and spend some time with it.

Let us know what you think. this will be my next amp also.

stevieo, What options did you get with your amp?

 

[drew8mc]

I ordered my MPX3 2 months ago and it's still not here, although it is on the way. Mikhail orginally quoted 2 to 3 weeks. I have no problem with it taking that long, but a more acurate estimation of the time would have been nice. I'm not normally an impatient person, but when someone tells me something's going to take a certain amount of time, I would hope it's done close to that time frame. Mikhail has been very responsive, and always answers my emails, I just think he should be more conservative in his time estimates. Of course as soon as this thing arrives at my doorstep I'll likely forget all this.

options you ask?

i am not sure but mikhail billed me for the following;

1. Jensen Paper in Oil Copper
2. Upgraded Output Capacitors
3. TKD Volume control
4. Solen Stage 1 Capacitors
5. Solid Silver Wiring 99.99%
Sylvania 6SN7WGT x 2
Sylvania VT-231

i bought this amp specifically for my ps-1 & this is the configuration i heard at the ny meet that i liked better than the other single power amps for the ps-1. that is what i told mikhail i would like to have & i guess that's what i got because i have only come up for air for a few hours a day for sleep since i got it.

the real surprise for me is how much i like my new ppx with the cd3000!!

the amp that really put my ears in the dirt was a supra mikhail had up there at grado labs for the ny meet. you can see it in the ny meet impressions post. i am trying to figure out how to forge my wife's signature on a home equity loan so i can acquire one. i have never had criminal thoughts until hearing this amp. my headphones are off to the very fortunate person who took possession of that amazing amp. i could possibly give up my other favorite sport entirely if i had one of these amps.

Wow. You got top shelf, bro. Mikhail emailed me that with several of the above-mentioned retrofitted upgrades (1,2 & 4), I would have one very fine MPX3.

Mine shipped yesterday. It'll likely be here on Monday. Why doesn't the post office deliver on Sundays?!? I got the 6cg7 version w/ Solen caps. Lead time was a bit shorter than he quoted. Mikhail is a very nice man to deal w/. The wait is killing me.

Congrats onyour amp. All you guys with the PPX3 should check out the sticky in the amp section and see whats going on with the PPX3 tube sharing package thats out there.

I feel the same way except Im getting a ppx3 and my wait has only been about ~6 weeks. What makes things worse is hearing these other people who ordered ppx's after me are getting them before me. He must not like me.

Congrats on the PPX MikeK! (and all you other lucky folks with one) I had a chance to hear three different PPXs at the last Marland meet and it's an impressive little amp. Can't wait to get my own someday....

I doubt it's anything like that. Probably other factors like parts availablitly for your particular amp came into play.
