Anyone get to listen to the new Immolation album "Majesty and Decay"? I got an advance copy when I saw them on tour with Nile a couple weeks ago. I'm not much of a reviewer but what I can say is its killer!!!!

Hey all, Just throwing this band out there for all who are interested and may not know of them. The Project Hate are a swedish band who play a hybrid of dm and other sub genres. Just a heads up, the songs are long in length (8-10 mins), dual vocals (male growl and female clean). I've been...

Been listening to The Chasm lately. I love their style of death metal. Infused with a more classic metal sound then modern. Great riffs, trade-off solos, instrumentals, and epic songs.

For anybody interested just stumbled upon a couple death/doom gems(in the old school vein). Acid Witch - Witchtanic Hellucinations Hooded Menace - Fulfill the Curse

Hey all, all this op-amp talk has got my curiosity going. Any advice on a op-amp that would be suited for metal music. I have no experience with op-amps, so help would be appreciated.

Been listening to: Engorged - Where Monsters Dwell (love all their albums, can't wait for the new release) The Project Hate - In Hora Mortis Nostrae ( a mixed bag of metal but it's core is death, and brutal in it's own way) Thornafire -Exacerbated Gnostic Manifestation (brutal stuff...

Here's a small update on my I+ venture. I would guess I have somewhere close to 50 hours on it so far. As far as any burn in improvements, I can't tell. Reason being the sound signature that I'm now getting as opposed to my previous set-up is so different. I'm still taken back and having fun...

My first venture into full-sized canz was the grado line. I started with the sr-225 and then went straight to the RS-1. They are the most comfortable set of canz I've ever put on my head. Though I haven't tried them all on of course. IMHO it also comes down to head/ear shape for some people...

The I+ hasnt been around for too long so reviews and comparisons to other amps with other phones is limited. I would suggest checking and posting at little dot's forum @ little-tube.com edit: just noticed you posted on little-tube. guess you're just gonna have to wait awhile for more folks to...

x2 on the 225's. gotta love that grado attack!!!

Thanks for the heads up HeatFan. Anyone got any updates on their I+, tube swaps, opamps...etc?

Anyone who's familiar with opamps could you help me out? I'd like to swap opamps in the I+ but have no idea which ones are some of the better to try out and from where to buy???

Hey all, just received my I+ today! Talk about fast service. I put my order in on 9/26 and got it 10/1. That's some lightning service and shipping from china to southern california. Well first things first. The I+ is certainly a small, well built, handsome looking devil. I powered it on and...

I'm not sure if you are aware MM but the Little Dot staff is on holiday at the moment. If you check the Little Tube forum it's posted. They're taking time off from 9/30 to 10/06. David does also post that he will be responding to emails but since they're on vacation I'm speculating it may take...

Well everyone, I just pulled the trigger on the I+. I got the basic model but intend on rolling tubes from my MK III pretty quick. Hope to see it at my doorstep some time late this coming week. I'll be throwing my RS-1's at it to see what kind of changes in SQ I get compared to the MK III.

gonna be pulling the trigger on a I+ in the next few days. I'm a current MK III owner and have really enjoyed it. The curiosity of the I+'s high current vs the MK III has me going. I'll be using the I+ to run my RS-1's.

I may not be a grado expert but I do own both the sr-225 and rs-1. I started my grado trek with the 225's and quickly after a year got the urge to upgrade. Decided to go for the homerun and went with the rs-1's after a little research here on head-fi. I dont' mainly listen to classic rock as...

Could anyone let me know what kind of improvements I could possibly hear from the I+ vs my MK III? I've read over and over again how high current brings out the "full potential" of low z cans. Does that mean that I'll hear an improvement across the audio spectrum(highs,mids,lows)?
