In Reply to: RE: What are your thoughts on the Little Dot amps? posted by golgi on September 07, 2011 at 14:40:36
I know nothing about tubes. Do you have to do anything to the amp when switching tubes? Or do you just plug them in?

Tube swapping is easy. they have a manual and provide jumpers for some tubes that you can just pop in to the inside part of the amp but there are so many tubes variants that you can just pull out the tube and reinsert a new tube without touching anything. The Mullard CV4010 are a nice tube for Little Dot amps and can be purchased cheap.. There are some great Little Dot threads on Headfi.org that you should read and ask some questions there but it very highly recommended.
There is a minor tweak you must do when switching tubes. Depending on the year your MKIII was made, you will either have jumpers or dip switches that must be changed according to the tube you want to use. It's really quick and easy to do and doesn't require opening the amp. You can access these from the cut outs on the bottom of the amp.Check this page for the guide- http://www.littledot.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=815&sid=b7982c59f100efcf68cb8192aa1fb86b

I have the I+ and it requires opening the chassis. The guide only mentions a couple other tubes that are compatable. Would different tubes make that noticable of a difference?
I don't have any experience with the I+. But with the MKIII the differences between tubes is very noticeable.
