Yesterday a perfume bottle from a shelf decided to "kiss" my little dot. Didn't end well as you can see. Thankfully I have some spare tubes.
Have been using the lil fella for about 2 years almost daily and I love it. Sounds great on my Sennheiser HD560s and Focal Clear OGs.

Did you try voskhod drive tubes? They are really amazing, at least with Hifiman cans.

I recommend mullard pre tubes and Russian outputs.

Sovtek tubes were one thing Soviet Russia did well.

I'll counter that with JAN preamp and Soviet military surplus power tubes

I really prefer voskhod over the JAN. I Have to test the Mulllard yet. They are also highly rated.

Does it smell really nice now, tho?

What piece of hardware is this and what tubes? I currently have the HD 600s and I’m about to buy the Focal Clear OG also.

This is the little dot mk2
There is much newer versions by now and i tried to get my hand on a Shiit Heresy, but the price spikes and non-availability (especially here in Europe) made me steer away. I am still very happy with the amplifier and will continue using it

Would you just go with the Hersey? Strictly speaking for quality/performance

I have the Schiit Modi 3 DAC in front of the little dot and i would most definitely get the hereesy if I could get it for a fair price. Its also much less of a hassle. But i still love the tube vibes. I am not a believer in snake oil and i quite honestly dont hear a difference with the tube amp. I just like it visually.
There was onl one thing that scared me away from Schiit amplifiers. I read i some reviews that some Heresy amps suddenly got really loud for a moment and destroyed peoples headphones. There was also lots of those people saying that Schiit didnt pay their damaged headphones You might wanna investigate that before going with their amps. I wouldnt wanna destroy expensive headphones.
