Hello, I decided to start this thread because of the lack of info on tube rolling in the mp-301. This thread is open to all mp-301 owners. I'll note I do not yet have a mp-301mk3 but I'll buy one soon. In conclusion I hope this thread will be helpful and fun for all!

I just got my MP302 MK2 yesterday, been working fine, but my wifi router which is pretty close to it made the speakers(PSB Alpha B1) hump(buzzing noise), its pretty noticeable when there is nothing playing, I use the B1 as desktop speakers in between them is my laptop. I am using Stock Shuguang...

Just wondering if anybody tried the Musical Paradise MP-301 MK2 with the beyer dt880

I am wanting to buy a tube amp for my desktop at work. The choices are: Little Dot mk IV http://www.littledot.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=820&sid=0e9d14aae3c961485bd253dd93ac13c9 The Musical Paradise mp-301 mk3...

Sorry for creating a new topic, but I did not see a recommendation thread on Summit-fi.   OK, here is my situation: Currently own:  AKG K701 + Sennheiser HD650.   Using my Onkyo reciever as headphone amp (and its headphone out is very capable, it can drive even the Hifiman HE6s).     I...

Id like to get into tube stuff and I'm looking for a cheap (under $350 if possible) tube amp to power a couple speakers and to use as a headphone amp. It would be nice if it was sensetive enough to run IEM's but Il mostly use it with full sized cans.   I looked at a could I really liked the...

Budget for this purchase is $200-550. Looking for a solid tube amp, preferably one that starts off pretty good, but gets great when you roll the tubes. I would like it to be good now, with room for improvement when I get ready for a new project. Preferably new, but I could potentially be...

Hi All,        Forgive my total ignorance when it comes to tube amps, but many of the impressions I am reading of amps like the MP301 and other entry-level tube amps seem to favour higher impedance, low sensitivity cans. Same-same with the Bottlehead Crack, although the enthusiasm levels for...

So I have some Beyer 880 250 ohms coming in tomorrow and I desparately want to put together my rig as soon as possible.   My problem is not only do I not have a DAC/AMP ordered, I haven'f even made a shortlist of dac/amps dspite hours of research.     I think i'd like to get a darkvoice...

I've been corresponding with Garry at Musical Paradise and he shared some information on the upcoming update of the MP-301. He said it would be okay if I posted this information here. I thought it might be of general interest, given the good reception the original MP-301 tube amp received.   ...

I've given myself a headache trying to decide between these two. The price difference between the two units is 150.00, but when you factor in the cost of interconnects it's more like 250-300.00. I plan on making my own interconnects, but those mini xlr connectors aren't cheap. I also plan to use...

A friend on another forum put up his Musical Paradise MP-301 for sale and I saw the price and jumped, its on its way and I'm pumped. My question is is there anything in particular I need to look out for, tweak, etc.. in these-or any- tube amps?  I plan on using it for headphones but I know...

DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE   Currently I have made a list of all the gear I own... As I don't have much time I will be writing the reviews slowly. I hope to have them done by the end of October.   More Gear will be added as I get it.   Note: This review is dependent on how I hear...

I purchased a sample of this amp to review. Normally I don’t do that, but in this case I did, for two reasons: 1.I wanted to try a 6V6 based amp, to get a chance to try this type of tube 2.It was CHEAP! Holy poop, is it cheap - $200! The MP-301 is actually transformer-coupled. And indeed...

So I finally got my MP-301 in the mail yesterday.  I told my mom to call me when the package came in, as I was very unsure of when it would be delivered.  Canada Post (and USPS for that matter) are absolutely awful when it comes to package tracking.  The website said the package left Canada on...

I have been asked repeatedly to do this, and I have resisted so far, but I have decided to go ahead and rank all of the tube amps that I have either formally reviewed, or that I have owned for a long time but not formally reviewed. Note that this is a HUGE range in prices, from $6,000 to...

Well, after lots and lots of research and asking many questions (thank you to all the fellow head-fiers who have put up with me, I appreciate it), I have narrowed it down to these two. Project ember, for $341 shipped, and the Musical Paradise MP-301 mk 3 2013 Deluxe Version for $360 shipped...

Current desktop setup is PC --> Xonar essence STX ->DT990 600ohm and --->DRA-397 ---> Fluance SX6 speakers and DB150 sub. Mostly listening to music(let's say 80%) and some gaming(20%) I know the essence STX can drive my headphones,but I'm pretty sure there's some untapped power left so I...
