I currently power my D2000s from a Little Dot I+ (with Mullard M8083 & LT1364). The combination sounds excellent. However, I have always wondered how the D2000s would pair with a SS amp. I read about several amps and narrowed my search to Matrix M-stage v2 and Gilmore Lite (I have been looking for amps ~ $200 range). Can these be considered an "upgrade" over my Little Dot I+? What changes in the sound signature can I expect? I would prefer something that would make the bass more tight and deep, have similar sounding mids and roll over the highs a bit (not that they sound bad right now - out of sheer greed for SQ
). Any tube suggestions for the Little Dot I+ that would bring about this change are also welcome.
PS: I have read a lot about the SQ from these amps but am looking for impressions from head-fiers who have heard both of them and hence can compare one against the other objectively.
