Hello again, Silent One
 
Bryan Ferry is extensively addressed on the Web; maybe you've heard of his group, Roxy Music? Ok, it's British, not American! R. M. and B. F.'s latest CDs are superb recordings (from a technical and artistic point of view) and they come out wonderfully on high-end earphones. Try, for instance, Avalon (R. M.) or Mamouna  (B. F.)
 
Regards

Thanks, will examine this further later on...round midnight.

Maybe a bit on the lower-end of the tube amp spectrum. But...i like the basic raw symetrical looks of my darkvoice 337..

Yup

Sweet pic..thanks! So pure and simple and of everything a pair and surprisingly it sounds really good for the money..
Never had mine opened YET.but soon it will...its waiting to be upgraded..mine already has the powerswitches relocated to the back..so those white long wires on sides are non existent on mine for less inteference on the signal it was done by the previous owner..
BUT gold volume knobs? Or is that the effect of the flash?I prefer the matt black look of my 337..

Hope this is an appropriate forum for gettin a brag in on my Soviet tubes. I power headphones with it, too, so it counts, right?

Any thoughts guys?
 

The closest I can think of is DNA - maybe the prototype or initial design for the DNA Stratus?

Don't know if it's been posted, but I've always had a 'thing' for the sex appeal for the line of McIntosh tube amp/pre-amps.

Those gold knobs are standard that amp.  It is the 337se version.  I have had one for a couple months but have yet to listen to it.  Buyer beware when browsing the classifieds.  It has been in the shop since the day I received it but it seems it will be working soon.  I am cautiously optimistic...

That looks old..but cool in a way..like a T-Ford ..and its still functional? How does it sound?
