I am very very pleased with mine.

In my experience it's actually pretty rare in this hobby that you buy a component without auditioning it first and it surpasses your expectations, but that's just what's happened here. The fact that it's a great looking, built-like-a-tank, and cheap amp is the icing on the cake.

Thanks must go out to echo1 who is responsible for bringing this great little amp to our attention!

My 336 has just arrived.

Shipping is quick, but expensive. It cost 1409.95 RMB (~ $176 )

I'll follow with my impression of the amp.

I live in Los Angeles, CA.

I have the actual shipping receipt from China Express. I can scan and post if anyone is interested.

The cost of shipping, $176.25 is included in the $310 USD purchase price.

The 336 goes for 1300 RMB (~162.5USD), shipping within China is included in that price.

Bottom line, the manufacturor and the distributor together get $133.75 for making and selling the 336. That's alot of work for $133.75.

We should definitely have a US distributor who import by sea!

The wood crate must definitely add some serious weight to it, because I paid $65 for shipping on mine (sans wood crate).

And yeah, I told Wei over at iFi Audio that he should work out something for importing the Darkvoice too, but never heard anything back on that.

That's funny, he asked me about mine and said he was looking into it. I hope he does carry them, he's a great guy to deal with!

A very nice combo IMO. Wait 'til you see what I've got cookin' with the Zhaolu. Should be ready to unveil in a few weeks.

You're making more changes to it? It'll definitely look nice, I already know that much.
