:joy: :joy: :joy: Are you sure that you're using right model? :wink:
Yes, I'm sure this one is LCP 😂 I switch between them. The other one is called Newbsound X

Is there any successor to the Little Bear B4x? Or any portable tube amplifier comparable?
Guard your wallet first. It's not a Little product:

Here's some other stuff I've stumbled across. It's not going to be Woo-level, though:

Ouch! Not in my price range. You would think Little Bear or Douk Audio or some other company would come out with an update/ new one in the B4x price range
I don't know if they're successful-enough a product to convince Douk to go for it. Most folks go OTL from here, I suppose. Linked a more affordable one above. Have no data on it, but looks like a similar idea to the B4-X.

Interesting...apparently it was even reviewed years ago by our own resident @ClieOS . Still have this thing around, buddy?

To think I must have gotten it off easy (so far) with a small handful. Definitely counting my blessings :)


Before you mention it, yep, one of those wire runs has a snip through it. Oops. Hope those other cables show up soon.

Don't know how he does it, but Mr. James does stuff in the stereo space that defies the laws of (recording) physics. I'm sure this waveform is pretty popular by now:

No, that's not a photoshop. Yes, it's mildly creepy. He's still a genius for figuring out how to do that in the first place.
Haha, he's been hiding easter eggs in his music for years, supposedly, for IZ-US he chased his 4 year-old cousin around the house making faces and decided to record whatever he said and put it in a song. I wonder if his cousin remembers how he's now part of his discography :ksc75smile:

As long as he was just making faces and not repeating this over and over again:

Earbuds, aka flatheads, are a member of the earphones family of personal stereo/mono headphones, aka ear receivers, to include IEMs, Ear Hooks aka Clip-Ons, and Mono Earbuds, aka Side Earplugs. The airy earbud, first debuting in December 1981 from the makers at Trio-Kenwood, has surely come a long way from those early... oh, wait a minute, wrong thread.

I bought the Smabat M2s based on all the impressions here. I’m hoping it will be a good upgrade/sidegrade to the VE Zen!

Is there any significant advantage to getting the different drivers for the M2s? I was considering getting the 150 ohm titanium driver, but not sure which the best one is for this earbud.
