Nice...thanks for the response.

I'm going to be anxiously awaiting a review of how they do with RS-1's, and also, what the deal is with the whole 336i version.

Hopefully we can get some direct comparisons with a PPX and Woo3...and whatever other tube amps it might compete with from a quality standpoint.

Oh man, I sure miss tubes.... Looks like I need to head out to FS forum for some cashing in...

Now I need to sit back and wait. Perhaps I can waste more time by learning to spend more money on the tubes...

Thanks!

Do you think it's well packaged enough to withstand airport check in baggage?

If I open the crate, can I close it easily? Or do I need nails and stuff...

Yes it should withstand airport baggage gorillas. No you'll never get it open without destroying the crate. Leave it packed and wait 'til you get home.

Yeah me too. You will open it up for us won't you Bosk? It's quite easy, all the screws are at the bottom.

Yup, I'll be happy to post some pics of it's innards, I'm as curious as everyone else to see how the interior structure has changed since the 336 version.

Speaking of changes, I was just sent this message from Jian Liu which throws further light on things:


Hi,
Difference between the 336 and 336i:

1. The Outlook of 336i is improved:
-Painting is replaced by a better brand in best quality.
-The label is replaced by stainless steel which is more stable.
-The hand work is improved so that the tiny gap is invisible. The
appearance is therefore more elegant and finer.
2. Inside packing is harder and stronger:
-To better protect the important part, i.e. the electric output part,
double strong hard material is used to ensure a safer transport, which also
increases the cost.

Best regards,
JianLiu


Thanks for keeping us informed Jian Liu.

Well if they're improving esthetics, it must be over the top because I think it's really nice looking already. I'm guessing he's talking about stainless steal for the nameplate on top of the amp. It's really nice to see that they're consistantly refining this great little amp. Sounds like you'll have a sweet amp Bosk.

How much time does this amp requires to warm up? I ask because if there's one thing I wouldn't like is having to wait an hour or so for it to warm up every time I'm going to use it.

Thanks.

Any tube amp is going to require warming up for a decent bit of time before it sounds its best, but you can use it about a minute after turning it on.

Add one to team China-fi!!!

Oh great, now I will have to wait two weeks for this amp to show up. And since I have just shipped out my M3, I will have nothing to listen to, but my PX100

I hope this is not too rash a decision, or else I will hold swt61 completely responsible for his swaying words, lol. Meanwhiles, what are some great tubes that I can start getting that match well with K340?
