Thanks for that. I'm always a bit nervous when a "feeding frenzy" occurs around a new product. And you're probably right about David at Little Tube; I haven't come across a single critical comment on his ethics. As I had recently posted a request for ideas regarding a new purchase here:

this Little Dot MK1+ could well be it.

I think a lot of us are desperately waiting for further impressions. This little sucker has the chance to really be something special at it's price point.

Yeah, maintenance is another issue I'm worried about.

I'm really looking forward to the reviews on this new amp. Especially with low z phones like grados. I've been curious about the sq difference with an amp pushing more current vs my MK III. At this price point I'm very eager to hear about the results.

Just ordered this amp with WE408A tubes for my Denons!

I will definitely give my feedback when it comes in.

Mine arrived today! I will let you all know what I think in a few days.
I can say that it does have a nice smooth tube sound.

 

[Ghoul]

Could anyone let me know what kind of improvements I could possibly hear from the I+ vs my MK III? I've read over and over again how high current brings out the "full potential" of low z cans. Does that mean that I'll hear an improvement across the audio spectrum(highs,mids,lows)?

Just got mine

! Gonna hook it up in a minute and watch the tubes glow...

This is making me grumpy; I know I'm going to get the amp today or tomorrow, but I can't (properly) listen to it until stevenkelby's iPod LOD-to-RCA cable comes Wednesday (or Thursday or Friday). I guess until then I'll make room for it on my desk here and have my roommates gawk at it like they have with all my other hobbies.

Yesterday I got back to my home so I couldn't listen to my new toy for a couple of days. Right now I'm listening to Ruoska (Finland's own Rammstein) with I+ and RS-1. Sounds just perfect...

 

[Woobies]

OMG! I'm going nuts, this sounds like such an awesome amp. Or perhaps I just want this little amp to because of its little price... Either way, I'm jealous.

RS1 and I+ better than mkIV?

I'm liking it very much. It is still burning in, but it sounds more than decent with my K401, K501 and even with a pair of HD600s. It's funny what's happening. The 401s now have a bigger soundstage than the 501's which usually (always?) is the other way round.

The low-end amping promises to be truly excellent. I've just switched the K701 pads on the K501 back to K500 pads (K501 pads suck no matter what

), because the bass was a bit overwhelming and the overall sound muddy. With the K500 pads the K501 sounds really good out of the LD I+, although soundstage is still smaller than the K401's soundstage. Interesting... This is a powerful little beast, methinks.

 

[REB]

Yup, even while still burning in, K401-LD I+ synergy is out of this world

.

I should switch the gain to high gain, but I don't have a screwdriver here (I'm at the office) and the K401/501 are driven loud enough, although it would be nice to have some more playing room.

I can't announce it just yet...

Have to listen and compare at least this week.
