does any1 have a this problem with the 337?

I could receive radio broadcasting from the 337 when there is no signal from my cd transport? I plug out the rca source, there is still radio music

I could hear them when music is playing, is like some noise, because the DJ was talking

It is much obvious when the volume is tuned down to lowest

what could the reason be?

I had that problem with my phono preamp when I used unshielded RCA ICs.
The interconnect acted as an antenna.
I solved the problem by moving the amp.

Try moving the 337 and see if that works.

Hi, I just got myself a K1000 over ebay. Seeing that you own a K1000 too, how well do u think the 337 drives it?

The Darkvoice website specifies that the 337 outputs 2 watts. Assuming that's for a low output impedance, at 250ohms, it would be even more. The K1000s need about 1 watt at 250ohms.

It's been over a year since I listened to the K1000s, but they sounded pretty good. The output power of the 337 might be just enough to run the K1000s. It's definitely not the best amp to match though.

I experienced this with the ASL MG Head OTL that I had a couple of years ago. You probably just need to move it a bit.

It really was the RCA cable...I shift it lower and it works, if It hang on the air the 337 became a radio

a little too soft driving my K1000s. after 1 o'clock it doesn't really seem to be getting any louder.

Just so you know... the AKG Tech reports that the K1000s need a conventional speaker amp with a minimum of 30 Watts per chanel to drive them properly. Few headphone amps will even come close.

i've got it hooked up to my 50W/channel integrated amp now

I'm morbidly curious, if arcing occurs while listening to your headphones, what is likely to happen?

Hi guys. New to the forums and have been doing some intensive reading the last few days. I have family visiting from China in the next few weeks and since the cost is substantially lower there I was thinking of having a 337 brought for me. I was wondering for those that got these overseas directly if you guys shipped them back or just triple boxed it and checked it in on the plane? If it was shipped any idea of an estimate to CA, US?

Thanks

I had mine shipped by the distributor, so I cannot completely answer your question, but I will tell you that checking it as baggage is a terrible idea. You might as well just set your money on fire

 

[djork]

I'd rather have spent more money than inconveniencing family members to buy it and bring it over, in addition you never know what happens if it's checked into the cargo. i'd rather pay more for one on ebay and have a piece of mind.

 

[waivted]

The problem is my budget is limited, and the savings is quite a significant amount. It's a few hundred in price difference. For those that got if off ebay do you guys know which company was used to ship? I'll probably take a closer look at shipping charges and ship them myself. Thanks.

 

[Skylab]

I know what I *paid* for shipping was $70 - not sure what the actual cost was, but this doesn't seem unreasonable - the 337 is a big, heavy tube amp.

 

[waivted]

Ok thanks. It was just that I saw on ebay the shipping prices were $170 and that seemed a bit high to me.
