    Amp works as Preamp, not as Amp - Help requested

    Heya I will definitely be sure to check my, what I'm guessing you mean by jumpers, gain switches. If I am mistaken by what you mean by jumpers, please let me know!   The 2 sets of tubes, according to the forum post from the seller, are 6H30's. Excuse my ignorance for not being familiar with...

    Hey HeatFan12!   Well, looks like I had a few things right and a few things wrong regarding my setup hahaha.   What I had correct was of course how to use the amp with headphones. I had been using them for quite some time before the unit "broke" on me. Doh!   However what I had...

    Thanks for keeping up with this and thanks for the suggestions.   It is out of warranty so I more than likely will end up tinkering with it. I have been soldering for ~15 years so it shouldn't be much an issue. I could also just invest in a set of power tubes but unsure if I want to drop...

    Heya all!   Still looking for help if possible.   I may end up just using this as a pre-amp as I notice that there is still very nice sound quality being output that way and just scratch ever using it as an amp.   What do you guys think?

    @kramer5150   Interesting! I have edited the original post to mention that the audio I hear is coming from my source rather than a radio signal, but you definitely gave me a lot of reading to do hahaha. I'm interested in this entire tube amp radio signal reception.   Thanks either way ha.

    Hmmm, when plugged in as a pre-amp/pass-through, the volume knob does nothing to volume, which to my knowledge means it's working as intended. The line should be @ 100.   As for the tubes, due to the design, the tubes only fit in specific places, so reversing the tubes is not a possibility.

    Hello everyone!   Amp - LittleDot Mark IV (Non-SE)   Cans - HD-555/HD650   Other than sending this back to LittleDot, I was wondering if anybody might have experienced this issue as I'm sure it isn't isolated to just the LD Mk IV.     Description:   I purchased this amp...
