did you upgrade the tubes on your little dot mk ii? i am thinking of getting it, wondering if the tube upgrades are worth it.

[StereoMike06]

@incubated Nope standard tubes. I like the MK II, but honestly, for a little more get the MK III. Main reason is tube rolling and adjustable gain which the MK II lacks. Adjustable gain is my biggest gripe as some of my cans are very loud at almost no volume using a fixed line out. I might upgrade my pot to an alps 100K to give better tracking and more control in the low end.

[StereoMike06]

@49kasey The tube amp is a Little Dot MK II

Hi, what cable did you use to connect discman to valve amp?

I'm planning to buy little dot mk III and connect it with my iPhone, can you suggest me some highQ cable?

Thanks!

Man, that must sound FANTASTIC in person!

What are the power tubes you got on the little dot?  They look rather robust.

Very nice setup. It sounds great. Even on my PC soundcard. Wish I had that. LOL

@thisismypage79 Shut your face, mate! This isn't your page! Yes, analog outperforms digital but digital amplifiers are a rarity and not sold as hi-fi. Amplifiers, whether solid state or tube are MUCH better than ever.

@StereoMike06 Interesting that you have that old receiver along with all that modern high-tech equipment. You really should update, amplifiers have gotten so much better, believe me. People get attached to their old equipment but they kid themselves. Total coincidence but I just ran across another video showing the Little Dot MK III and I've been looking at the specs and reviews. Looks nice, I'd like to get one.
