Nice to see another review of the MKIII. Closer to my own particular view but not all the way there. I don't find it transparent at all. I see a significant boost in the upper range. To me this does make it harsh and bright sounding. I do use it with AKG701s which as you say may not be an...

Hi there, just got myself a Little Dot MKIII I find the top end harsh for my liking. I think it sounds boosted. Contacted David at Little DOT and he suggested I try Mullard EF92/EF91s My question is. What is the difference between these two? Which would I be better off with? Richard

Hi Grado. It depends on which setup you mean!! I have been really happy with my main setup for years now. Always gorgeous to listen to and capable of wowing me sometimes when I turn the sound up etc. If you mean with the current headphone stup, I'm not satisfied with that but I wouldn't...

I really only use it for listening to vinyl. Linn Sondek LP12, Akito Arm, Blue point cartridge Lingo power supply, Tom evans micro groove phono stage From there being plugged in direct to the little dot AKG 701 headphones Normally into an affordable valve amp company amp with el34 tubes...

Hi Penguin. Having also received one of these, first I thank you for drawing my attention to the dip switches. They do make a big difference in sound. However I wonder about your view of the. I burned mine in(attached to a pc) for most of the weekend and yet I still feel it very bright. Quite...

Spritzer, thanks for your reply. But would I not need to get a driver unit/amplifier as well thn. Wouldn't that push the cost up more. Stax headphones are so confusing!!

Hi, I actually meant to different sets but I made a mistake anyway. I meant the lambda Junior set. SR84 w SRD-4 Its all confusing!!! Quicky replies by the way

While we're here, what do ye all think of the cheaper lambda pro and the srd4 set (I think usually with sr80s) Thanks

Just to say that David apparently shipped out the first batch of these days. Or at least mine which must be near the first. I should have it maybe the end of next week so I'm looking forward to that. I'll be partnering it with AKG 701s. I chose the little dot because the 2+ and 2++ seem to...

I haven't listened properly on headphones for years but think it might be a good idea. I currently have a good set of speakers and a tube amp so want to replicate that as much as I can. I just bought a pair of akg 701s second hand and now need an amp. The IIs get good reviews but this as...

I got a similar email. Waiting for tubes it seems. Are you getting or thinking of getting the amp? If so, please say why

Has anyone heard of these amps yet or are they too brand new to have been heard. If not, maybe someone knowledgeable could say whether the specs look good, whether it should sound decent. ANd personally, whethere they would be a good match for AKG 701s and also how it shoud sound in...

Just received a pair of AKG 701s in the post. They were second hand but look brand new. Not sure how much they have been burned in. First impressions terribly disappointing. No soundstage, terrible lack of detail and everythng sounds wooden and yet irritating. There could be many...

Hello all, I've just discovered this site and think its quite amazing. Such a huge amount of posts and information. Its especially great because I'm currently awaiting delivery of a pair of 701s. I see the comments about lack of bass. I usually find that mot headphones have too uch bass...
