"Little Dot MK2" any good?

Looking to try out tube stuff some time in the future, this is my planned setup:

Any advice?

Edit; Just changed parts of my setup, check list again.

LDMk2 is a respected starter tube amp, but it can only be used with high impedance headphones.

if you don’t have any 250 ohm and up, you need a hybrid tube amp like the Schiit Vali 2+.

This amp is actually a hybrid

(ignore this, it is wrong)

That’s wrong it has dip switches and is rated for 32 to 600 ohm sets.

Plus it has and option again via a dip switch to run either 6J1 or EF92 tubes.

That makes it a versatile bargain with lots of after market tubes available to roll too

If by that you mean the LD MKII? it’s not it’s full tube.

it says hybrid in the name on amazon… :<

Ohmboy · August 14, 2021, 5:22am

They lie it’s full tube and I got mine from Amazon UK lol

multiple questions are also answered with it being a hybrid… someone fucked up somewhere

Ohmboy · August 14, 2021, 5:24am

They did lol…

Rob · August 14, 2021, 5:26am

I checked the official product page and nothing about hybrid stuff either, RIP

Here’s a pdf of the instructions that come with it

That’s because it’s not, but a lot of the LD series are so maybe check them out …

I occasionally use mine to drive my Z1R’s …
