Hello, I need a little help. Want to change the volume pot in my Little dot MKIII but I can't get it out, don't want to break anything but I don't know what to do after unscrewing the front panel, the pot seems fit in place by two little brackets, how to get it out without breaking anything?
By the way the pot in mine read 323G 50KAX2, so I was thinking about an Alps blue velvet 50K, right? Thanks in advance.

Anyone still enjoying the LD MKIII? I have a pair of Tung-Sol 6AK5 drivers in mine and good Lord it sounds exquisite.
Does anyone else run Tung-Sol drivers??

I just bought one today! It is a used model bought on CAM (Canuck Audio Mart). It comes with two a half sets of tubes. Now I have to read this thread and the tube rolling threads.

Great amp! I've had mine for years and it still impresses me. I just recently purchased these

Seller is legit and they sound so good I ordered a backup pair. I tried several driver tubes also and the best sounding I ever rolled in were the Tung-Sol 6AK5W, detail, detail, detail!
This is just my personal experience but the sound with my DT990 600ohm is exquisite IMHO!

Nice price on the tubes! Mine will be coming with two and a half sets of tubes. I am at least the third owner so it should be well broken in.

I have been curious about OTL for a while. I ordered a DarkVoice through Drop, but the Drop was cancelled. I have been looking hard at new and used BHC's but I chickened out due to price.

I currently have an SS amp, a hybrid amp and a low impedance tube amp. Like to see how this fits in.

I purchased a Monoprice Monolith tube headphone amp and its worked out really well. It uses a pair of 6N3P drivers and a 6080\6AS7G power tube. Lots of tube rolling options and it is literally built like tank at over 20lbs! I also have the LD and a Loxjie P20 and a Keces SS so I'm covering all bases. I think you'll really enjoy the LD it's a great amp with plenty of power and unlike my Monolith (and the Dark Voices I've read) it has always been silent. Keep us posted.

Here is a pic of my incoming amp. I won't get it until late next week as it has to travel about 4,000Kms. Hopefully it arrives in perfect condition.

Cover up the blue power light and it makes for a very pretty picture with lovely sound to match. Can't wait to start tube rolling with it.

Make sure you try the Tung-Sol 6AK5W drivers, relatively inexpensive and I (with most material) prefer them to the 6HM5 Yugoslavian which are also very good but lack just a bit of the detail textures of the TS. All IMHO.
Here's what I settled on for a power tube https://www.ebay.com/itm/6N6P-TUBE-MATCHED-PAIR-2-5-TOL-NOS-NIB-SAME-DATE-II-1974-ROETEST-V10/313238472630?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Thanks! Do power tubes make a difference for sound or just the power output? I have a couple of Mullard 8100 and Voshkod 6ZHIP-EV on the way for the drivers.

I'd listen stock for a bit and get a base line then try your tubes and if you enjoy them listen for a while, then you could experiment.

What are everyone's "go-to" headphones for this amp? I currently have the Senn HD660's and Beyer DT880's (600 Ohm). I just re-bought the Senn HD6XX's to how they match. If I really like this amp I might even pick up some R70X's from Audio Technica.

I will probably try my other 'phones, but I am not expecting much.

Mine's HD600. My 660s sound slightly bloated on it and the Anandas were a little off too but the 600s sound amazing. Running on medium high gain.
