Any marks you see on the front of it in the pictures are shadows from the light bouncing off debris on my desk, because the panel is immaculate. They've also improved the edges drastically from the pictures I've seen before. |

Roughly translated:我是黑嗓的出口代理,您的黑嗓336就是在我这里购买的。今天看到headfi上有一些
ebay的黑嗓卖家,我想说明的是,我和厂家保证,出口到国外的黑嗓,只有我一家授权
代理在做。任何ebay上销售的336,都只能是私自从中国把的220v的机器带到国外进行
销售,而不是厂家根据各国电压订做的版本,他们是没有售后保证的。所以国外336的
售后,必须是通过我购买的,厂家才会提供质保,并且,220v的机器,不能工作在240v
的环境下,也不能工作在110v的环境下。
因为我不能上headfi进行发贴,麻烦您在百忙中帮我在headfi上说明一下!十分感谢!

Originally Posted by echo1 Well fritz and everyone I ordered the parts. I used a couple diff. parts than Fitz but generally followed the mods he did. 1.A 1uf Dynamicap instead of solen 2. WE(Western ELECTRIC REMAKES) Sockets instead of teflon. 3.Riken Ohm on the grid resistor. 4.Mills wirewound for the cathode resistor on the 6sn7. 5.6as7g cathode resistor stayed the same for now.Trying to get some gold series from ohmite but cant find a retailer yet. 6. Used the same military spec IRC resistors on the rest. 7.Ordered the same nichicon 330uf for the high value coupling caps. 8.Dont know if I want to tackle the p-to-p crossfead. 9. Alps maybe. Hi Fritz, do you think the alps helped the SQ any or just a more even volume control? Also your DV looks awesome. I will not even aprouch that level of work.You Are a professional. |

Originally Posted by Fitz I can't really be sure because it was difficult for me to get the correct volume level on the Darkvoice with the W5000s before. I do think it's worth it regardless to put a logarithmic taper pot in instead of the linear one now, or mod the current one to behave more like a log pot. And thanks for the positive comments. I'm really glad it turned out as well as it did, because I've never done any point to point work this extensive before. I got really lucky by having so much time between parts orders to figure out how I was going to do things |
Originally Posted by echo1 I havent taken off the curcuit board for the volume pot yet. Do you know if the alps will drop in to it or if not,will the pin arangements be the same? |
