EDIT: Hello World!! And MY Little Dot MKIV SE
Welp, it was bound to happen, but work has really got me bogged down right now (which is not a bad thing by any means) and I haven't been able to listen to much. Once I get some free time and have thoroughly listened to my little dot I plan on tube rolling, and taking it apart to study the...- Dookky

EDIT: Hello World!! And MY Little Dot MKIV SE
Haha, yes my wallet has seen better days but this is just incredible. It's like the first time I bought expensive ear-buds. Granted they were bose (i don't much care for them anymore) but it was a huge step up from the stock ipod earbuds. AMAZING!!- Dookky

EDIT: Hello World!! And MY Little Dot MKIV SE
I FINALLY GOT MY MKIV SE!! Very pleased so far! Only JUST beginning to listen to it (less than an hour) but already, some static in a recording has been significantly reduced, and what I would equate to soundstage has been dramatically increased. I am listening to a Beethoven piano solo and the...- Dookky

Power Cables... Really?
I feel like this could be tested with some common equipment. All one needs is an oscilloscope and a means to capture wave points on a computer (an A/D or simply plug it into your sound card and use audacity, after proper attenuation of course). Unfortunately I don't have enough money to buy an...- Dookky
