I just bought a used DV 336SE, and it sounds quite good with my HD6XX phones. But when I looked closely at the tubes, I realized that the seller made a mistake and I have 6AS7 variants in both sockets!
It has a RCA 6080 in the front, and a Shuguang 6N5PJ in the back.
It surprises me that not only didn't it blow up (!), but it sounds quite good, even compared to some far more expensive headphone amps I have. Less air and treble than my "better" amps, but I'm enjoying listening to the DV, even with the wrong tube.
I've got a vintage 6SN7 on the way. I'm really interested in seeing the improvement (if any?).
