Reading through the chinese headphone forum and found this http://bbs2.erji.com/read.php?tid=541459 seem like little dot have a new tube headphone amp coming out

Hello head-Fiers,   What is the best tube amp that doesn't produce hiss or slight crackling. I don't want to mention what I have as I may be selling them. I'm looking and Woo, Little Dot, and Darkvoice. This will be for night stand listening. Thanks for your insight. I have an imod as the...

Hello - I have a Little Dot I+ with some Denon D7000. I'm thinking about getting the Schitt Asgard amp, to see what SS is all about. What kind of sound differences can I expect?

like the title suggests - i am planning to get an akg 702. right now i have LD mk3 but from reading seeing that it would not be the best amp for the 702s. i'm going to be keeping the mk3 to pair with my 580s but still would need another amp for the 702s. i'd like to keep costs as low as...

is this a good combination? i'm going to be getting a pair of 702 in the near future but want to make sure that they will sound good with my mkIII.

Guys,   I'm currently using an NAD C542+C320BEE combo, or an iPod (with or without the 320) to power my cans (Grado SR225, Senn HD580, and probably soon the ATH-M50 or DT770).   What I want is a combo DAC + Headphone amp that will scale up with my system. I want it for the following...

Hi there, I have a major question The little dot mkIII has 4 gain settings. 10 gain is normally used for headphones with an impedance greater than 300ohms. But the beyerdynamic DT880 (05), are 250ohms. Which setting should I use? I find the 10 gain is a bit boomy, and the treble seems...

Please post your impressions. This is among the best mp3 ever made!

I just paid for a T1  and should receive it  in like a week,   but this make me wonder, how good will my current amp be able to drive it.   Little dot MKIV se Little dot MKV ( which is going to be sold) Little dot MKVII+ ( which i should receive it  2 weeks later( sent back for...

Hello all,   Let me start by saying I am fairly new to the amp world so please be easy on me.  I have looked at a lot of posts here and noticed the Little Dot I+ has been pretty well liked.  I am getting new cans and want an amp that can push them enough.  I am looking at Beyerdynamic...

I just received the MKIII as my first tube amp. Plugged in, powered on, only left channel has sound. One of the shorter tube doesn't light up, but it still has the heat. I tried to swap the tubes around, the bad tube still doesn't light up, again only the left channel has sound. Does that...

Hi guys, I own a Little Dot MKIII and I really enjoy it with my Grados 325. I wonder if there's a noticeable difference between the MKIII and the MKIV SE.... worth to make the change.... Also, I bought Mullard tubes for the MKIII (M3181 I believe) would they fit on the MKIV ? Or should...

I can't get the may issue of Stereophile but believe Sam Tellig's column was on the Little Dot (not sure which one) and Music Hall headphone preamps. If anyone who has this issue can just post the basics of his thoughts on these two I'd be most grateful. Being in Australia Stereophile isn't...

Hi, Ive been looking to upgrade to a decent USB DAC which has a headphone amp built in, as im a bit tight on cash. Im looking on spending >£200. So far ive narrowed it down to the Beresford Caiman and the Little Dot DAC_II - both of which seem to have mainly rave reviews. The headphones...

I have a pair of HD595s and HD650s, and the little dot mk iii amp. This is my first real audio set-up so i'm going to do everything properly. I've decided to start with a headphone system then move into speakers.   So far I have:   Little Dot MK III w/ US Army 6AK5 that were suggested on...

Hi there,   I have been looking at getting a dedicated headphone amp for quite a while to drive my HD650's and possibly some 600ohm DT880's in the near future. I was about to buy the MKV but on reading up a bit more I found the Audio-gd C2.   Now i am down to these 2 amps, so is the...

  Just received my Little Dot MKIV SE I am a Noob myself, still doing trial and error type of testing.   What i can say is , I Love my HD600 and DT-880 600ohm on the MKIV SE better then on my MKV   will come back later, after trying more.   I read some Thread saying the Little...

I have a pair of HD650s and an iBasso D10. I'm planning on purchasing a Little Dot MK III tomorrow, and I was wondering if it made any sense to pair up that amp with the D10 using the D10 as the DAC... I haven't found any other threads where I saw those two paired up and was wondering if maybe...

I was looking at standalone headphone amps on ebay, I was wondering which one of these 4 would be enough for the AKG 702s,  I dont have a money tree with 100 bills on it. So it has to be between these 4. One that enough MWs for powering the AKG702s at there rated ohms.  I may pick one of these...

So I just ordered K701 headphones and was wondering on a good amp setup.. would like to spend less the $250-$300 but can spend more... most of my headphones are earbuds and bought these because  saw them in an anime and I really like how they look! I'm kind of a noob to this headphone...
