I'm interested in getting a Singlepower amp.
I'm trying to decide between th $649 PPX3-6NS7 or the $849 MPX3. The headphones I'll be using are Sennheiser HD-650. I wonder if the MPX3 is worth the $200 dollar difference.
On Singlepower's website they say that the MPX3:
"The design of the MPX3 allows the listener to more readily hear the sound characteristics and traits of the tubes used. This is accomplished through a combination of a very high degree of regulation and filtering, along with zero negative feedback and a large reservoir of stored electrical energy. In other words, with the MPX3 you hear how your tubes affect your music, not how your amp or power supply affects it. While the MPX3's sound is very powerful and dynamic, it is always under control."
They make it sound like with their lesser models (PPX3 and PPX3-6SN7) you won't fully appreciate the tubes because the amp or power supply will get in the way. Does anyone know how the PPX3-6SN7 compares to the MPX3? How much better is the MPX3 compared to the less expensive Singlepower amps? What upgrades would you guys recommend for the PPX3-6SN7 and the MPX3? Would a highly ugraded PPX3-6SN7 be just as good as a base MPX3?
