How much better is a Little Dot I+?
I have a Bravo Ocean. I really enjoy its sound but at times I really wanted more, something better even with my upgraded tubes, a RCA Cleartop and a Sylvania that I don't know from where it is but is as good as the Cleatops. Also how is the sound signature? How different it is?- LightDarkSonic
