I don't know if I'm allowed to do this but please remove if I can't but I'd like to sell my duplicate tubes for my Little dot. I only want what I paid for them as I need space. I've tried them all and they work ok. They are all variants of EF91s of various vintage makes versions and a couple of 6SN7GTs and make for interesting listening. Please PM me if you are interested.

Do you have any 6SN7's left?

Yes I've a couple of Sylvanias

some people seem to be saying it depends on what revision you have I looked at amazon reviews and a guy with the MK3 and the 4.0 board said it works (apparently you should be able to see the board version through a hole in the bottom)

Damn, it says V2.0 :/

So after a while, I've been reading a lot about tube rolling and I finally got to tube roll my Little Dot Mk3. I must say, simply amazing. I'm currently using JJ 6SN7 in adapters + socket savers (didn't want to remove the golden rings) and Voskhod Rocket 6ZH1P-EV for the driver tubes. It's a great combo, I can actually hear a lot of new things in msuic that I couldn't before - I'm surprised by this. What I noticed the most going from the stock tubes tho is more bass. It's smoother and nicer sounding but there is more of it. It's a very audible difference with Sennheiser HD 6XX that I'm using. Overall tho, very nice sound and I can recommend this combo! Of course also attaching pictures. Wouldn't win a beauty contest but it's worth it. They look absolutely stunning in total darkness.

You may want to try the EI 6HM5 tubes as drivers as well- should not be expensive to buy. Plug and play - no adapters needed.

Might try them someday. Right now mostly waiting for all these 4 brand new to burn in to hear the best out of them.

Good - I see that you haven't yet been bitten by the tube rolling bug! It is very dangerous and results in buying more and more tubes - it never ends. In any event, when I owned the LD MKIII the EI tubes were among the top performers.

30-50 hours of burn in is normal, but some tubes can take much longer. I remember reading that the Voskhod tubes need 120 hours to sound their best.
