Musical Paradise MP301 MKIII: Unboxing

[@korling99]

They make a very cool tube preamp too, called the MP-701

[@KeritechElectronics]

Interesting. Looking at your previous video, I thought it was a RIAA preamp with plug-in step up transformers which in fact turned out to be red tubes. Looking at inToit Reviews video, the amp has two small-ish output transformers and a filter choke hidden inside the chassis. I'm a little bit skeptical of how these transformers would perform, but hey - give this little thing a workout :).

[@SkunkieDesignsElectronics]

You are correct to be skeptical.

Hi, Glad to see this amp on your channel. The 301 MKIII was my first tube amplifier. This little amp really educated me what 6.5watts can do! I still have this amp and may bring it back into the system. I'm looking forward to your review!

Hi, i am also a owner of this Amp. The best Sound for me is with the sylvania pre tubes, an Psvane KT 88 m2. I'm happy about your next Video .

[@SkunkieDesignsElectronics]

Hmm don't get too excited....

[@songcaothuong]

It looks like the 2018 version, not 2022 version @@SkunkieDesignsElectronics

Regarding the non-item you unwrapped: the avant garde artist in me wants someone to make a channel devoted to unboxing videos of elaborately--even lavishly--packaged empty boxes. Also, I'm excited to hear your thoughts on the amp.

[@nevillegoddard4966]

This is gonna be interesting getting your feedback on the different tubes you have there to try!

[@toulcaz31]

I kind of like the handles. It brings a sense of symmetry in the design.

[@cobar5342]

More fun. I know you don't like Chifi much but exploring it is fun for all of us.

[@MasterofPlay7]

Chifi sounded really good these days

[@SkunkieDesignsElectronics]

And honestly explore it I will!

[@m13579k]

According to their site they are a Canadian company but are manufactured in China. I'd take that with a grain of salt though.

[@UK_Lemons]

I suspect the mystery roll was a special combustible material to generate some new magic smoke if the amp let's out the pre-installed magic smoke.

[@SkunkieDesignsElectronics]

HA! Good one :)

[@rupertherbert594]

waiting for your test and review of this little one, heard some positive claims of it

[@SkunkieDesignsElectronics]

Coming soon!

[@warp2600]

Great! I was considering buying this amp a while ago. Isn't it a small Canadian business originally? I am looking forward to your insights on this thing.

[@MasterofPlay7]

I heard the preamp is good, don't know about amp

[@SkunkieDesignsElectronics]

Not sure who designed it, I would hold up on that purchase until I get all my videos uploaded.

[@warp2600]

@@SkunkieDesignsElectronics yes, that's the plan. I am so eager to hear what you find.

[@TheJoyofVinylRecords]

Fun video Stephe!

[@jefffeith4201]

Mine always sounds bright. Discovered the 807 tube while tube rolling. I use it in my second system with small, dark sounding bookshelf speakers (NHT). I doubt it measures perfectly. Curious about your measurements. Edit, I just saw the two follow up videos.

[@ckunstadt]

Yay! Headphone content!

[@SkunkieDesignsElectronics]

Maybe....

[@ckunstadt]

@@SkunkieDesignsElectronics Well... I'm mainly interested in how to integrate a great headphone output if I build one of your awesome power amps. I love your work!

[@1mctous]

Off topic but Dolly's up and moving again.

[@SkunkieDesignsElectronics]

She is slowly improving!!

[@jakedavis2838]

Looks like a Musical Fidelity knock-off. They even stole the logo.

[@inerlogic]

Skunkie: "I don't want my opinion affected by....." Box: "MADE IN CHINA!!!!" LOL..... Army tubes?!?! Awww man.... I want an amp with Army tubes.... #GoArmyBeatNavy They let the caps stick out the top so when the china tubes red plate and the caps explode you get shiny aluminum pieces stuck in your ceiling

[@SkunkieDesignsElectronics]

LOL!

[@SuperMcgenius]

Unboxing videos are silly, sorry. Look forward to reviews and useful content.

[@SkunkieDesignsElectronics]

Yeah they are, and I tried to make this one just that :P
