Yes, I owned a Little Dot IV at some point, rolled a serious bunch of tubes on it before I finally admitted to myself that it wasn't doing anything for me. At no point did I hear anything that I could point to and say ah, look there's the tube sound. But then people say oh you need this or that tube amp to REALLY get the tube sound. Which is audiophile speak for You didn't spend enough. Yeah. Thanks I'll pass. I also wasn't very happy with having the hot tubes running, the fact tubes wear, and all in all micromanaging the tube amp to fit with dedicated listening sessions rather than just having it run 24/7 next to my pc. Went back to a proper solid state, never looked back. That's over ten years ago.
