i second this question.

Congratulations tkam to an impressive Singlepower! It really looks good. Beautiful - beautiful. I take it you'll be cuffed to it during the burn-in.

Pls. tell us more about it. Does it have adjustable bias, both voltage and current? Which options, coupling caps, power caps; specials? We demand some specs here man, and of course a full report on the sonics.

Looks good. Why didnt you go for any of the other Singlepower models? Whats so different about this one?

Hehe, well it has lots of blackgates in it

. No adjustable bias, if your wondering the two switches on the top of the amp are for enabling and disabling the 2nd gain stage. Most of my listening is with the 2nd gain stage disabled as it is only really useful with my K1000s. Other basic specs is the volume control is a stepped attenuator and the amp has two inputs and a pre-amp out.

As to the sound, it throws an absolutely huge cohesive soundstage and really seems to have unlimited dynamic range. It also does bass like nothing I've ever heard, extremely deep, tight and tremendous impact. This is also a very transparent amp with great resolution throughout the frequency range.

Few people requested shots of the back of the amp.

that amp is absolutely beautifull and probably sounds better than it looks!!

congratulations on a stunning amp

quick threadjack how do you like the apl modded philips compared to the Opus 21?

 

[tkam]

With the Opus 21 in stock form I think the apl philips is actually fairly close. With the Opus being more resolving and having better pace and the philips have a richer, warmer sound. Now since I've had the Opus modded though it's a better player across the board. Don't get me wrong though the apl philips is a wonderful player and I still enjoy it.

I noticed in your sig that you have it named as a "mystery amp".Does Mikhail have a name for this amp or will it be just a one of a kind amp?If so what will you call it

.

 

[tkam]

Haha yeah it's just a one of a kind amp for now. I'll come up with a good name for it

 

[Advil]

you should call it... The Enigma

 

[Gabe Logan]

I have a better name.How about the "TK1000"?

 

[libertine]

v.nice purchase, looks awesome and bet it sounds great.

Now that is an awsome looking amp. Im a total sucker for all those awsome tubes.
Any estimate of how much power its putting out with the 2nd gain stage added in?
