Hi-Buy

I am looking for an inexpensive tube preamp like a Little Dot MK IV or Soundstage Vacuum Two or something similar. Will also consider a Carver pre... Thanks....*** I ordered the little dot*** Thanks, for the help everyone..

Hi-Buy

I guess, I'll consider any preamp tube or not. Thanks

Carver stuff and most audio has been going for unreal amounts lately. Carver M4.0T $750:eek:

Go for the Little Dot MKIV. I've got the SE version, for $399 it'll blow you away. It doesn't have any tone controls or input switching. It's just a headphone amp, an Alps pot, and tubes. But for a single source you will LOVE it.

Hi-Buy

Thanks Roy... I didn't see a for sale section on the carver forum.


nspindel, I really like the little dot and i hear good things about it.. You buy it new ? How long did it take to get ?

Thanks

Yep, bought it new. Shipping is very fast. Even though it came from China, it was in my hands in under a week. Some have reported 4 days! David Zhe Zhe at Little Tube is a great guy, awesome customer service. I HIGHLY recommend this product. You will not be let down if you're looking for a tube pre-amp, and it will blow your mind when you plug some good headphones into it. I demo'd it at a head-fi meet with a pair of Senn 650's, and it's outrageous. My next purchase is going to be a pair of 650's and an Equinox cable.

You have to be registered with the forum to view the buy/sell items. No pre's currently for sale on the Carver forum, but there is a TFM-15 & C-6 pre combo on Audiogon.

Hi-Buy

Thanks, everyone.. I ordered the little dot. I can't wait until i get it.

I am registered and i forgot my user name, password so, i registered again but, they must make you wait a while because i still can't find the market place..LoL

Thanks Again.

Way to go, you won't be disappointed. I'm assuming you got the regular version, as I think the SE production has run it's course. I believe I got one of the last ones. The standard version actually has a lot more tube-rolling options....

ENJOY!!!

Hi-Buy, wondering if you received your LD and what your impressions are???
