Yes comparison is when you notice if you really like the phones or not   To let you know, the DAC used for the 2 comparisons I made were different.   The transport/DAC with the Meier Concerto was the Cambridge Azur 840C (no headphone out), and the one for the Burson was Marantz SA7001...

I had some nice experiences with the AKGs yesterday...   I tried the stock AKG 701 vs the Hifiman LE-6 on a Meier Concerto amp. The AKG sounded really, really good, very refined sound full of texture an timbre in everything it played and not harsh in any areas (and it was unburned in AKG as...

Hi icefish,   The Mk VI I tried had the buzz in the single ended, but none in the balanced ended

Hello,   I got a question about using a recabled akg 701.   I have the akg 701 recabled with apuresound to balanced with 4 pin xlr termination.   But I want to use it for a non balanced amp, so I am thinking of using a 4 pin xlr to 1/4 inch adapter (from amateur cables).   So I...

Does anyone know the default gain settings of the Mk VI? I haven't opened it up to fiddle with it yet! Maybe I can just leave it as it is if its the right setting! Thanks!

Hi everyone,   Can't wait to use the amp, as am waiting for the DAC to arrive in a couple of days Is there a burn in time for the amp?   On the instructions it talks about burning it in the amp, and I was wondering how long does it take?   Also, I got some valves to replace the stock...

I was wondering about which product from the Caig range to use, there's the D series and the gold series...   If you look at the pdf about which to choose, it suggests D series for used tubes with visible oxidation, and the gold for new tubes And it looks like the D series is stronger...

If someone is selling a set of tubes, that are matched and test strong, but they did not test the "lp" is this OK? I don't even know what the lp is... Thanks

Thank you for the great link to that tube comparison thread...   I read in Glitche's posting on another thread that he liked the RCA black plate 6AS7G’s (power) and Raytheon VT-231 (driver) combination with the Mk VI.   I was wondering about how tubes can be substituted. Eg instead of...

Hi, I am about to get the Little Dot Mk VI, as I am getting my headphones modded. I was wondering about buying tubes, in this case 4 power and 2 driver.   Does this mean that I need to get a matched quad for the power ones, or can I get 2 matched pairs to make up the quad? I have not...

Hi all,   I am wondering about buying tubes for a Little Dot Mk VI, and read about people getting 'matched pairs', and was wondering what this means and why?   The Mk VI needs 4 power and 2 driver tubes, and was wondering...   Does this mean that for the 4 power tubes, that a matched...

Speaking of balanced inputs to take advantages of the balanced sound, is the Little Dot DAC 1 pretty good, or the DAC Magic a better choice? The price range for new is different for them, but a second hand DAC magic could be an option?

Hey TheWuss,   Make sure you give us your impressions of the Mk VI when it arrives!   I am thinking of pairing it with a AKG701 balanced, and I've noticed you got the 702 so that will be pretty close.  

Thanks for all the input so far!   I guess in terms of sound, it's hard to describe, I guess I like to hear detail, but also a little warmth so that it sounds a little more acoustic... It's hard to describe, I guess I want it to sound as good as possible (dont we all!).... glitch, you...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has compared the WA6 with the Little Dot Mk VI. I was thinking of tube amps, and these are in a similar price range of $600-700, and the LD is balanced, whereas the WA6 is not, but was wondering what are the differences, and which is better. Any input...
