TungSol 6SN7 Mouse Ears + RCA 6AS7G
That's really cool. I've always wanted to try a tung-sol but have always been too worried about the hum.

Only the new re-issue TungSol made in Russia is known to have a significant hum that can be removed after a long period of burn in.
I believe @Verhulk, can chime in here as he has that tube and can confirm this.
The other TungSols that I do have, if they hum, its not very loudly. I will swap in the mouse ears tomorrow and confirm this as well, but TungSol (as long as it was made in the US) will more than likely not hum for you and if it does, a bit of burn it never hurt anyone
Good to know, thanks. Anything locally I've found have been the Russian ones, but I'll keep an eye out.
Just wondering, can I use dark voice 336se as a pre-amp into http://www.kingsaudio.com.hk/m03.html?
I am not very familiar with the setup but I am guessing laptop(max)->dac (max)->pre amp (max)-> amp (volume control)
or should I control the volume at pre amp level?
thanks in advance.
circuit pictures can be found here (http://www.hdfever.fr/2015/08/14/test-kingsound-m-03/)
You can. Nothing to stop you. I've used DV as preamp into Elise and vice-versa. Volume is controlled at the amp.
did you max your DV?
I don't know much about circuits (volt, amp, impedance and etc) so I hope not to blow anything up.
