Audio-gd Reference 7.1 DAC
I have made a quick and impulsive decision after reading this thread and seeing that Audio-GD now have a new batch of Ref 7.1 up for sale. I am driving my K1000 and HE5LE from an old modded Audio Note Kit One using a Lyngdorf CD1 and Little Dot Dac-1 as sources. For some time now I have felt...- AcousticMatter

Hifiman HE-5 + Little Dot MKVII+ = Wow!!!
Roscoeiii, Absolutely - I am enjoying my new HE-5LEs a lot with the VI+. The headphones seem to match this amp very, very well. As others have noted, the VI+ is a very clean sounding amp, which I find do the HE-5LEs a lot of good. While both my HD650s and K1000s sound excellent running...- AcousticMatter

Northwest Passage by Oregon
This is one of my all time favorite albums as well. Really well recorded, and great musicians. Oregon has a long history as a recording group, so you should look into their other recordings. A favorite of mine is "Live at Yoshi's". As a former classical guitarist, I have a soft spot for Ralph...- AcousticMatter

Hifiman HE-5 + Little Dot MKVII+ = Wow!!!
Hmm, not sure that this observation is completely fair to the MK VI+. I was only talking about the synergy between the HE-5 and the MK VI+ running with the hight gain setting for my K1000's. I am quite sure that the amp will do significantly better than the Mk V when running with the low gain...- AcousticMatter

Hi Moodyrn. Nice writeup of your experience. I recently got my hands on a HE-5 myself thinking that my LD MK VI+ would be a good match. I am running this amplifier with the high gain setting for my AKG K1000's. The HE-5 didn't really do well here, so I started using it with my LD MK V. This is...- AcousticMatter

Little Dot MKVI+ and K1000
For a few months I have enjoyed this combo, and last week I got my hands on four Tungsol 5998's, which have added tremendously to the enjoyment. I feel that I finally have found the right tubes for the MK VI, as the amp now provides such a balanced, rich and almost creamy sound through the...- AcousticMatter

k1000 owners club
Hi there, I have been looking for a proper amp for a while now to drive my K1000's. As I am both on a budget and would like to get into tubes, I have been considering the Little Dot Mk VI+. There seems to be no reports about the MK VI and K1000's on the head-fi site. Does anyone have...- AcousticMatter

I just got my hands on a pair of used K1000's. No. 05485... An original AKG K1000 amp was thrown into the deal. Does anyone have any solid experience with this combo?- AcousticMatter
