yelp thanx guys for the replys, the ps-1 sound amazing witth the ra-1..which to me is a surpise.

in july I have the chicago meet and ill sit down with ray and listen to the xp-7, then after that i'll have enough (should) for the ppx3 witht he sacd lover mod (passive outputs). I think either know the ps-1 sounds good on the ra-1 it would really open up with a nice tube amp and a really nice solid state.

I talked to Mikhail and he is awesome, The only color now is black but he said there are plans for the chrome...so if i wait ill be able to get me one of those.

Raif,

I have talked over the phone with Mikhail extensively about the Supra prototype (I called it the Supra 6cg7 above- that'll be the production model name, probably) and he quoted me at $1000, not including shipping. Note that this is not the same as the other current production Supra. Mikhail told me, in lamens terms, that the Supra prototype (or Supra 6cg7) is basically a PPX3 circuit using the 6cg7 tubes, with an umbilical cord going to another enclosure which houses the tube rectified power supply. Call Mikhail if you'd like to get answers more quickly; he's always available and is very conversational and makes everyone feel like a friend, despite his busy work schedule.

You guys don't need to be calling him to much now!!!! He's got a SDS-XLR he needs to get finished!

Yeah, do like Tom says, and leave Mikhail alone. He also has a Maestro to get out the door.

Hey, he needs to get that prototype developed first before he puts his back out lifting that monster.

I actually just got a 15 page email from him. Wow!

You are right the new supra pt is ~$1000, and sounds like exactly what I am looking for. I am currently waiting on an pm from gsferrari that adequetly explains the whole hum issue with the rp-5. But now, I am really torn about which way I want to go.

I was pretty much sold on the rp-5 but man does sacd know how to sell an amp.

ROTFLMAO - Heh, you're so right about that! Does that thing come with built in wheels for moving around the house?

Ha Ha Ha.... No wheels, but you guys are going to laugh your butts off when you see the marble and steel amp stand I'm building for it.

Funny how the WooAudio-2 includes 'balanced design' on it's amazing list of feautures, yet lacks any XLR connections, and, judging from the tubes, is completely single ended.
