    Own a pair of Pro400, very underated phones, the bass is insane and it's pretty clear considering it, and so I'm after the Soundmagic HP200 but won't be able of listening before buying, how do they compare?

If I got that right something slightly...

    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?
