When I used to work on ranches... we just took the horse clippers and had at it...

I will heartily second a LOD from: S² Audio: Dockit Very fair price, just about the same as a "no-name" off of ebay, great customer service, and when I had a small problem, S2 took care of it immediately. I'd buy one of these instead of a hit or miss cheapo from ebay. I found the review...

Though I am a serious noobie, I haven't had any trouble with my Little Dot II+ tube amp. Certainly, it is not like my ten year old solid state GE clock radio that simply won't break, but neither do I worry about the fragility of my tube amp. I DO notice that my tube amp sounds better after...

I, for one, want to thank you for all the work you put into this thread. It has proven to be the single most helpful review of headphone amps I have found on the internet.

Thanks for all the great info. in this thread. Largely because of this thread, I went ahead and picked up a used Little Dot II+ awhile back. (Yes, I know it is not a MKII.) With my Senn 595s, my non-audiophile ears could not be happier. I have been hearing things on CDs I know very well that I...

Have to say it depends on item. If shipping is FREE, I'll take whatever they are giving away. When I buy or sell most online items, USPS Priority shipping has gotten pretty affordable and cost competitive if the item isn't too heavy.

Though a relative noobie to head-fi, I have bought and purchased items on e-bay and from several other hobby/special interest boards over the years. This is the first time I have ever had an experience like this: Item for sale. Pm'ed seller with an unequivocal "I'll take it" and asked...

Mine wasn't overly bright when I got it, but is getting sweeter by the day. Literally, if I had to name some sound adjectives, I'd say musical, liquid and sweet. As opposed to detailed and dry. But, say on flamenco guitar music, I can hear the frets and the fingers moving on the strings like...

I LOVE my Little Dot II+ with my Senn 595s. Listen to all types of music.

I picked up a used Little Dot II+ tube headphone amp from this board and absolutely love it. For the money it is hard to beat. I listen to all sorts of music, from Jazz to Classical, Rock to Rap and CW.

Have you thought about one of the Little Dot amps with Tubes? I picked up a Little Dot II+ tube amp on here for a very fair price. Using Lossless Apple out of an iPod with Senn 595s I canNOT believe the "musicality" of the sound... so this is what everyone is so amped up about with tubes...

I just hooked up my Apple Lossless>iBook> EMU 0404 USB>Little Dot II+> Senn 595 and canNOT believe how good it sounds! I know I am a noobie with unsophisticated ears, but all of that (except iBook) for less than $400? I think this is one of the audiophile bargains of all time. I also tried...

You guys are killin' me. I just ordered my 0404 last night from music123, $125 with free shipping. I can't wait!

Well... until you get into the over $1,000 power cords, it IS cheaper than smoking crack, though nearly as addictive, isn't it?

Thanks for the heads up on the EMU 0404 USB at music123... $125 shipped? I'm gonna give it a try to see how it sounds out of a PC on Apple lossless ripped CDs.
