It was only a 16GB card, easily scrolled in my old sansa fuze

Is there a way to slow down the scrolling of folders? It's so fast that it's difficult to stop it at the folder that I need

Dsnuts, at least let us know approximately how much money we should save for it...

Quote: The same here, shipping to Italy over $50! When using USPS for two of these you should not pay more than $15. I would have loved to buy some...

Quote: This is exactly my tubes set up since the day the amp arrived. I am happy with these and I never tried other tubes. Decisely better than the stock and no hum.

I too have a Sansa Clip+ (8GB + 16gb microSD) and I love it. I just bought also a Sansa Fuze (first version) that's equally good soundwise (and uses microSD). I bought a refurbished 2GB unit for about 25 Euros shipped from UK.

Quote: Garry and Scott - so which are the correct positions of the three wires of the OPT connectors? Both mine have black on B+, red on U and white on P, but from ETAHL pic here http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/536681/new-info-musical-paradise-mp-301-mk2/315#post_7454553 it seems that...

About the hum affaire, I was the first to affirm to have no hum in my amp. I tried it for less than an hour with stock tubes and I found the sound a bit "thin" (but no hum anyway) so I replaced them with other tubes I had at hand without waiting the burning of the stock ones. I put two used...

Quote: I don't know if it's strange, but I can assure you that this one was the power cord that came with my amp, and the fact that it shorted after a few hours confirm it wasn't high quality. Now I am happy with a thick PC power cord, but maybe you were right to fire the QC guy over...

Quote: Hi Garry, yes I am from Italy and I got the amp directly from the China warehouse. Mine didn't come with a US plug power cord, but with a schuko plug power cord, so I didn't use any adapter. As you can see from the pics below the cord was very thin (and also very soft) when...

BEWARE OF THE POWER CORD! If yours is like mine, rather thin and very soft/flexible, I advise to immediately replace it with a good quality one! Mine shorted today. While I was listening to the amp, I suddenly heard a "ciack" noise and I saw the smoke coming up from somewhere, but I didn't...

eclein- I see in your signature that you own both MP-301. Can you tell us how they do compare in real world?

  Quote: Yes, I am very happy with this amp and these tubes, even though many says that a non-metal 6SJ7 sounds better. I will look for some in the near future. I am listening to it with my Dynaco A25 for now. My other speakers are Spendor BC1 and a nice pair of kit built reso speakers...

  Quote: Yes the 6P3S-E is a direct replacement for the stock 6P3P, confirmed to me by Garry himself.  

  Quote: $500 in tubes? Naahh, I surely am not an audiophile but I am very happy with my less than $20 tube set replacement. Two well used RCA 6SJ7 (so no hum ) and two russian 6P3S-E. I think you cannot get a better bang for the buck!  

Done! Thank you very much.

Quote: I have a pair of these (and of 681), and bought a pair of AKG K-240/270 velour pads, but I was wondering how to install these. The plastic rim seems so much tight that cannot be easily put on the headphones edges. Any hint?

  Quote: As my RCA 6SJ7 aren't NOS, but used, maybe this is the reason I don't hear any hum in mine.

  Quote: I haven't heard any hum in mine (I don't use the stock tubes) but I listened to it only with speakers (dynaco a25). I didn't try any headphone yet, I was listening to it while working at the restoration of a vintage tube amp. I will try it with headphones tomorrow, but I have...

  Quote: Mine doesn't run so hot, I am using it at 220V (as I'm in Italy)

Thanks Greeni, try to replace the 301 tubes with better ones, at least the mediocre chinese 6J8P with a good vintage 6SJ7 and give it another listening, just to see if you confirm my impression of a much better sounding amp (investing less than $20 for all 4 tubes!).

Got mine yesterday (in Italy). I listened to it for about an hour with the stock tubes and my Dynaco A25s (no time to listen to it with headphones yet). Nice sound, but a bit thin/dry. Then I replaced the stock tubes with what I had at hand: a pair of matched russian 6P3S-E and a pair of vintage...

Mine too is already on its way from China to Italy!

has anyone solved the problem of amazon not-shipping these to overseas destinations?

Placed my order today to DX. I am in Italy. Let's see how long it will take. They ship to Italy (I have bought from them and Focalprice without problems in the past). About the story that people don't want to ship to Italy I too think that some stories are exaggerate. In the last ten years I...
