How would you say the Grados (SR225) sound with the Singlepower PPX3 or MPX3? Are they an ideal match, or do the Singlepower amps really shine mostly with the Senns?

I haven't heard the SR225 with the PPX3, only an RS-1 and SR60 for a brief time at a meet, and I thought they sounded great with it. I also spent some time with the RS-1 and the Supra SDS, and that is a combo to behold. Canman has SR225s and a newly arrived PPX3, so he can probably comment on that combo.

I've used the RS-1 and the HP-2 with my SDS...very good.(although I'm not much of a fan of the RS-1) I have yet to find a pr. of headphones that don't sound very good with my Singlepower amp. There will be a 225,60, and 325, along with a PPX3 at my place this coming thursday. I'll post some impressions or PM you if you want.
Also Mikhail will voice any amp to your phones if you want.

Hey Tom, you gotta edit this sentence before people start getting the wrong idea. You forgot the <don't> in that sentence.

Hey Tom,
It would be great to hear your comments on that equipment! Go ahead and post your thoughts on here in case there are others that are interested. Thanks!

I've had good results using the Supra with RS-1, HP-1, MS Pro, and PS-1.

I had to retube the amp for the PS-1. I had it set up for the Sony R10, which is a bit light on bass. The PS-1 is, if anything, bass heavy. I had to revoice the sound or get blown out of my chair

This was not as big a deal with the other Grado's, which simply don't have as much bass.

Versatility is my favorite characteristic of the Singlepowers. They relly do sound great with all headphones I have tried--Senns, Grados, ATs, and Sonys.

I love the PPX3 / Grado 225 combo. I am hesitant to give any detailed impressions yet because the amp is still burning in but it is already really fun to listen to. I intend to write a review once I have a pair of Senns in the house again.
