I have a DV336 and it is absolutely dead silent. No hiss, hum, anything. The stock tubes that come with the unit sometimes hum. That will disappear over time. If that is not agreeable, then just roll some tubes through it until satisfied. Chris

I too have seen the 6080 get very warm!

Yep... Just keep on using it. They tend to, IMO, take a little longer to lose the hum than most.

Thanks. I love it. Very quiet and crispy clear. I'll reach out to you soon on the tube audition offer. Too much travel, right now. Chris

Here's my humble little setup: I know, I know... But I didn't want to break out the tripod. This coming from a freelance photographer.

MoFi rules! I cant wait for Santana Abraxas.

Also, here are some JAN Tube Designators: CHS = Sylvania CHY = Hytron/CBS CRP = Raytheon CTL = Tung Sol CRC = RCA CNU = National Union CKR = Ken-Rad or (later) GE CG = GE Chris

Dom: I'm in Boynton Beach. If you want to check out the tube that Nick sold me, I still have it.

Nick: Glad that you're back and feeling better. Good to have you "home". Chris

Here's one for the hardcore tubeheads... Make your own Triode tube: Video Fabrication d'une lampe triode

Peter: Yes, it is permanent. I have used it on lots of brass and it holds up very well. Knife and gun parts (which I carry every day) look just fine. Since you should not be removing the the IEMs by the plugs anyway, they'll hold up even better.

One of the greats of our time.

Nice can on the Glock, Larry. Go Class 3 or go home
