Who had the great wisdom to put that blue led, bright as a beacon, on an otherwise great little amp?

You certainly are grumpy, just put in some black laquer or cut the leads

You're probably using stock tubes. That's why the tinny sound. Those chinese stock tubes are garbage. Sorry for the harsh words but that's true. Buy yourself an inexpensive driver and power tubes and see the big improvements. Even the cheapest RCA 6AS7G and Sylvania 6SN7GTB will bring about big improvements.
 
I won't tempt you anymore with Elise but the improvements over DV336se is so great there's no comparison. Just stay and be happy with DV - it is capable and enjoyable for a very low cost. 

 
Received an RCA JAN 6AS7G today and made the substitution immediately. I really can't hear any difference, but at least I now have a spare, as I left the RCA in and put the original "on ice".
 
A NOS Sylvania 6SN7GTB should be here soon as well. So, at least I'll have a full set of spares. LOL

Anyone can let me know how long/how many hours a 6080 tube can be used? Thanks

I found estimates on line of 10,000 to 100,000 hours. In short..........a long time.

Oh, really! That lasts almost a whole life time!
So do you guys turn the amplifer off if you leave around an hour?

I have tube radios built in the 1940s that still have original tubes.
 
For safety sake I always turn off my tube gear if I leave it unattended.

Just an update I contacted the seller of the adapter and asked if it would work with the 336se and they replied back saying yes it will work.

Hi, I've a BIG question for you: a friend of mine is persuading me to buy a Yaquin tube amplifier instead of a Darkvoice 336SE because of the less distortion of the first. The Yaquin has 0.03% and the DV336 has 2%. Does anyone can help me in finding the best product for this prince range? Thanks
