New hybrid amp by Little Dot, I+

I've always joked about Little Dot's naming schemes and just when you thought it couldn't get much more confusing...

Kids are gonna get MkI and this new I+ all mixed up, and knowing Little Dot there will be a I++ in a few months.

Looks amazing though, I never cared for the power tubes much in the Mk series anyway, an op-amp based amp with a EF95 input stage is gonna rock, hard. Oh man, look at that socketed op-amp, you thinking what I'm thinking?

- DoA

Looks like a nice compact little unit. Perfect size for a bedside amp.


At first I thought you were being sarcastic and talking about the picture of that monster tube amp - the Little Dot TPA-1 - someone posted above.

Would make for a damn nice space heater next your bed though.

yes, from the current values stated by LD, this amp is very good for low impedance phones

800mW (32 ohm)
300mW (120 ohm)
150mW (300 ohm)

for the I+, where the MKII is

300mW @ 300/600 ohms
200mW @ 120 ohms
100mW @ 32 ohms

more powerful on hugh impedance but less current with 32 ohm..

Holy crap that's some serious power there.......I wonder what the list is on this. Those power tubes are Russian, seen those before from the store where I get Russian PIO caps from...

Serious chunk of amp there....wonder how it's sounds with pair of recabled 650's.....

Seems LD is poised for an assault on the higher end market with this amp and MK VI...


Peete.

I've seen the TPA-1 in person and yes, it is Freakin Huge! Way larger and heavier than the upcoming Mk VI, which is why they don't sell it to US. It would cost too much to courier there and the risk of something breaking along the way is too great. It's meant to power speakers IIRC, though i can't remember if it drives headphones as well.

Actually, they don't sell it anywhere. The TPA-1 was made purely as a concept amp to learn from.

I lokked at LD website, the amp is available in stock, even at their ebay seller, 109$ is a steal

Isn't it? I just stole it

for use at the office. Can't wait for it to arrive. I am very keen on anything hybrid, best of both worlds.
