I was just wondering if a wa3+ is a good upgrade from a Little dot mk2 or does the little dot just have so much more bang for the buck in terms of sound quality

Thank you Koven for being honest because some people exaggerate this improvement as justification of their purchase - they need to in order to not doubt the decision. |

It's rare to find the kind of comments that Koven made, I usually skip reading most of over-hyped impressions. Back to the topic, I'm not that impressed with WA6, IMO it's not the best choice for an amp under $600, I'd rather build a decent SS amp like a M^3 which cost a little over $200 with decent parts. |
