Little Dot MK III: An Exclusive Review (56k warning!) - Page 9

post #121 of 123

I'm concerned about this:

"... Comparing to the LD2+/++, the mids were not as liquid-like and vocals were not as intimate..."

I'm in LOVE with my recently acquired Little Dot II++, which I've also started to use as a preamp in my living room setup.

Was thinking of picking up an LD Mk III for bedside use (so I don't have to keep dragging the II++ back and forth), but I'm very concerned about this loss of liquid-like mids and vocal intimacy, compared to the II++. (The review later states the vocal intimacy returned with a better source, but what about the mids? Are there certain tube rolling combos that help make the III more like a II+ and bring these qualities back?)

In addition to the liquid-mids/vocal intimacy loss, it seems in general, the III is a less tube-y sounding amp than the II++? Is it that drastically different than the II++, which again, I love?

Or is it similar in tubey-ness to a II++, but better?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I also have the LD MKIII, loving it for its price.

 

But I dont understand why you claim the soundstage is enormous, it's to my experience only a bit wider than without.

I use it with the LD DAC1 and HD650.

The Russian Groove Tubes are really nice sounding on this amp. Decent price too. I didn't think the amp sounded that great with the K70x.
