I've got both these Beyers in the 600 ohm version.
 
I just read about the Little Dot MkIII in Stereophile mag., and it made me wonder if that would be a good combo for me.
 
As you can see I've got the Benchmark DAC1-Pre and the Outlaw RR2150 (Stereo Rcvr. 100wpc).
 
I'm curious to see if tubes would round out the sound or make a change that would be considered an 'improvement'.
Things sound great now with these, powered from either, but... you know... always interested in tweaks.

 
If not the Little Dot, what other tube?
 
And... part 2. Rolling recommended, if so to what?
 
EDIT: I mostly care about Classical, acoustic, jazz... but I do listen to rock and other.
 
Thanks!!

The DTs are hard to drive so you may want to fiddle with the Little Dot's dip switches to give em the juice they need.

Thanks.
 
What I'm asking is if the Little Dot MKIII is a good choice to mate with the DT880/770, or if there is a better economical tube HP amp for the them?

Thanks. Do you have a recommendation? Is there something 'great' or close to that in a similar price range?

I'd forgotten all about this mini-thread.
Since I started this, there was a lot of information written about this subject on the DT880 / 600 Appreciation Thread. I gave up this line of thinking after a while, so never did purchase a tube amp.
 
So... fro what I remember, the answer to the original question (posted in that thread) is yes. Apparently, the LD MKIII has great synergy with the DT880. The type of tubes make a difference, of course, but I would know nothing about that.
 
Other amps recommended within that thread are the DarkVoice 337 and Woo Audio 6. There are many others, of course, but I seem to remember these three being mentioned quite a bit.
 
Good luck, and I hope others with actual hands-on knowledge give you the answers you seek.
