Anyone have this one yet?

Very cheap, indeed. Do you think "Decod" implies some sort of DA converter onboard?

 

[BWRX]

I think they just mean it could be an input for a surround sound decoder or something.

They did a nice job with the aesthetics. Simple, clean, and functional. The VFD display looks very nice too.

Curious about this one to!, I might get it if my trends ta-10 is as good as they say ( my first t-amp)

 

[DcibeL]

Looks like a nice amp, and the price is very attractive as well. Looks like an excellent solution for those not wishing to DIY their t-amp.

Looks good, another one to add to my list to get !

Nice looking little amp at a pretty decent price.

I just put together another AMP1-B kits yesterday. With the total cost of kit($70) + case($80) + power supply($40) + time(priceless); this would have been a better alternative. Plus it has remote digital volume control!

where's the picture with the tube stage?

 

[renfrow]

What's the physical size on this? I'm guessing 12 in. wide by 16 in. deep?

It's on the page with the link, but since you asked... 🙂

Why didn't they just make one larger PCB ?

Soldering is close to Level 2, but not quite

Hey guys,

FYI - I'll have a few of these units in stock probably as soon as late next week (although the site shows Feb 15). I havent had a chance to evaluate it myself however. They were purchased based on speculation, curiousity and Little Tube's excellent reputation.

Thankfully, I've become their first N. American authorized reseller. I'm <really> excited to do business these guys 🙂

Mmm.. $299 USD??

I was in Hong Kong last month and bought the T 100 for $1200HKD. That would be around $165 USD. $299 USD seems a little rich even with shipping costs to N. America factored in.

I got it at Wai Wai Valve in Kowloon. Not sure if the owner will ship to N. America, but worth asking him.

BTW, it sounds pretty good (comparing it to my other amps - Bryston 3b and a Mac mc225.)😀

I have on of these on the way. Looks ripe for upgrades, plenty of room inside.
Some owners have reported noise problems. I'll see if I do.

The oher day I made a diagram of the layout, I'll post it when I get home.

The tube buffer is odd. They use an RF pentode. Wonder if that can be changed?

Will let you know for sure.

Man oh man, there so many T-Amp offerings now, where did they all started to jump onto the bandwagon ? most are from Hong Kong though, if only they had the slick marketing and advertising skills they would kill our economy here !

 

[motherone]

Very interesting. I'm actually tempted to buy one instead of building a 41hz kit.

 

[Pano]

That's one of the reasons I got out of building them. No way can I beat the Chinese at that game. Let the Chinese make them, I'll improve them. 😀

I've been running a Super-T for the past year and it's without doubt the best sounding and best value for money amp I've ever owned. But there's always room for improvement and just lately I've been thinking that a bit more power and some more inputs would be handy. Oh, and I wonder what a tube output would sound like.

Then comes along the Little Dot T 100 which would appear to be just what I'm looking for. All we need now is an honest review (hello Panomaniac 🙂 ).

I just hope it can be used in the UK with our 230-250 mains.

That's all I'm going to say about that. I like Wai Wai

Shouldn't be a problem. I see that the main transformer is a 2X110V primary, so 110 or 220 is easy. Just need to see what the resulting vlotages are inside the unit to determine if the hot UK mains will be OK.

I know that they are being used in Hong Kong. What are the actual AC mains voltages there?
