Whats the difference? What do those +'s mean?

The ++ indicates an improved version. The Little Dot II+ has problems with tube arcing. The II++ fixed that problem.

The arching tends to be fairly common with the Chinese tubes but notably absent with Russian tubes. The internal circuits are essentually the same. That being said I find the LDII+ amp to be more liquid and have better midrange than it's more reliable replacement and worth consideration if you want to hunt Russian tubes. The II+'s can be had cheaper.

The Plus is discontinued because of the unreliable tubes. You will be happy with the ++, it's a small difference and you don't have to hunt up hard to find Russian tubes to keep it going.

It's a good bargain and it holds it's value well.
