Has anyone seen Sam Tellig's 'Stereophile' (page 17) review of the MKIII in the latest May 2010 issue? Very positive praises!

Hi.   I'm a newb so forgive me if 1: I've posted i the wrong place 2: for my girlified excitement at my purchasing prospect.   Anyways, I'm in somewhat of a dilemma, I am currently running a set of 225's and loving them to bits after upgrading from he 80's last year. Well I have a bit of...

Check out some pics of the 3D model at http://www.erji.net/read.php?tid=863741&fpage=0&toread=&page=1   It's 100% a music player and doesn't support video playback.   Features:   CPU: ARM9   Swappable head amp bay, just like the Hifiman   Supports SD/SDHC cards up to 32G   Uses...

Looking to upgrade my Phenix tube amp and also get a DAC so I don't have to rely on my Mac's sound card. I currently have the DT990 PRO (250Ω) and also an older DT770 PRO (600Ω). So I need something that can power both properly. The Little Dot DAC_I + MKIII looks like a beautiful combo. The...

Right now i have Senn HD 448's i know they don't need to be amped but i hear they greatly improve when amped. and i plan to get the HD 598 when they come to the stated, both fairly low impedance headphones, but much much later i plan to get a pair of HD 650 or beyerdynamic DT 770 or up so far i...

Hi, I would like to know what amp I should get for my Beyerdynamic DT 770 32 ohm, if I want to improve sound quality? I want a "fuller" sound, and have a $100 budget. I listen to mostly electronic music. How much do I have to spend before I notice a difference? I know nothing about headphone...

Reading these forums has lead me to believe that buying a Little Dot amp for my DT880s is a good choice.   I am thinking about getting either the mkIII or mk IV and am wondering if someone can justify the large price gap between them? Is the mkIV really that good?   Also, what is the...

I just recently bought the Denon D2000, and I'm very happy with the purchase. Coming from the D1001, the D2000 does everything better and has beaten my expectations.    I'm currently running these headphones off my Little Dot MkIII, and I think the sound is much better than on board sound. I...

  I have a Little-Dot II+ that I bought in 2006 and a Little-Dot II++ that I got about a year after that.   The Little-Dot II+ uses EF92 Driver tubes and 4P1S (or 4P1L) Power tubes.  The power tubes are directly-heated pentodes operating as triodes.  The amp uses an iron core transformer...

hi, i just auditioned a couple of china made amps, namely little dot mk 3, darkvoice 3322 and darkvoice 336. my setup was netbook alac files -> audinst mx1 -> amp -> hd650 blue dragon recabled.   SOMEHOW, with the amp, or just through my audinst headphones out, the sound either had VERY...

My main desktop setting is ld dac1 + LD MKVII+ also a MKIVse I wonder how will the firestone Libby compare to my current setting now. Which is better ? As I am planning to get the Libby, and want to put the better one next to my main desktop. Any opinion is welcome!

Finally, I’ve had a chance to get my hands on the highly anticipated LD Mark III tube amplifier. Designed by the same creator that made the Little Dot II budget tube amp series (Mr. Yang), the MK series was surely set out to impress. I’ve endorsed Little Dot products since the day I had a chance...

i consider the woo amps to be the one of the best, but i wonder what their main competition is, do they only offer head amps?

Dear Mk IV / se lovers,   Today, I thought I start The Little Dot Mk / Se Appreciation Thread for all Mk IV lovers to contribute and enjoy.   This thread would be dedicated to you and shall be a place for us to share our joy as well as to learn from one another.   You may share everything...

Hi there,   I just got a used pair of Beyer DT990/250 edition 2005's today and have been listening for the past few hours. Absolutely love how they sound. So open and detailed! Very nice....   Anyway. I have been curious to try a tube amp for a while now and am wondering if you guys...

Just received my Mk111 and it is totally dead straight from the box. I've reseated the valves, checking them for bad pins, of which  which there aren't any, used two differrent power cords and even two different wall sockets. I've gently moved the power cable while connected to see if it's just...

Hey everyone,   I recently bought the AKG K701 headphones, and so far I am loving them.  I recognize the need for an amp with these headphones, and I have narrowed it down to these two.  While I have heard great things about both of them, I have yet to come across a thread where they are...

Which one is better for Sennheiser HD 650?

Does anyone else here NOT like their HD650's with the Little Dot MKV?? I have had mine (both items) for almost a year now, and found I listened to the combination less and less. I just found I stopped enjoying them as much as time went by. I then had occasion to listen to the HD650's through the...

Just noticed this today. Even with my source disconnected, I'm getting a VERY faint ringing/high pitched whistle out of my Little Dot MKIII. I'm hearing it in all my headphones so it's unrelated to them. Source is USB->USB DAC->MKIII. Drivers are Russian 0TK7s and powers are Russian...

Howdy everyone, so I haven't used the Little Dot I+ for around six months, maybe more. Got back from college last night and fired it up, and almost immediately there was this faint but persistent scratching noise coming from the right channel. I put up with it for a bit, but then powered down...

My current system comprises of a Squeezebox Duet > Dacmagic > Project Head-Box II > Grado S325i. I would like to replace the Project Head-Box II with a valve amplifier and I am considering the following two items: Millett MiniMax (kit) and the Little Dot I+ Can anyone give me advice...

Ok well like the title says I'm considering buying either the Little Dot I+ or the II. I know that the I+ is especially good for lower imp cans like Grado for example while supposedly the II can handle anywhere from low to high according to the little dot site. It seems to be like the II can...

Hi I just bought the GS1000, but i wounder what you out there think is the best setup for impedance on the little dot? Sorry for my bad english. Best regards Bagger

I've been playing around with my Sony CD3000s a lot lately. Switching them between the various amps I have on hand I'm reminded of what a temperamental and amplifier dependent set of cans these are. They go from lush on the Woo to harsh on the Aural. As such, I'm suddenly curious what other...
