Hey guys I ended up picking up a 337 from China. I noticed there are 2 plugs in the back. I was wondering does anyone know what is a good step up/down transformer I can use with the amp. Where can I get it from and for how much? Thanks.

Why do you need a voltage transformer - didn't they send you the US 110-120 voltage unit?

Anyway... here's a good vendor. I bought one from them for my DV332 - which the vendor sent me in error instead of the US 110-120 voltage unit. They seem to be good units at a good price, and shipment is fast.

He said he PICKED IT UP IN CHINA

Those look like they would do the trick, though!

Congrats on your new purchase! Listen to it for a couple of months, then you might wanna tube roll a lil'.

 

[waivted]

thanks a lot I'll take a look at those. i'll try the stock tubes for a month or 2 and then give the tubes a roll.

Just FYI, I'm using some Philips JAN 6SJ7WGT and RCA JAN 6AS7G at the moment.

i finally got it. wow and i'm only using the stock tubes. i see there's lots of tubes you guys tried but what about power cables? also i suppose you need to use two exactly same cables right? anybody try not using two same cables?

 

[Skylab]

I at least am using identical power cables - inexpensive Iron Lung Jellyfish.

337 seems/feels quite for warm/hot after a while, 15 minutes. pretty much stay the same after, an hour to 3 hours. how long do you guys leave it on? comparing to my yarland p100. it feels hot

 

[djork]

Well i can leave it on overnight to burn in the tubes / headphones. No problems, just make sure it's well ventilated. anyway, you got your 337 from mingos?

Has anyone had a problem getting in touch with Jasmine, I spoke to her last week before I ordered my 337 (post earthquake) she assured me there was nothing to worry about if I ordered now. After 4 days I’ve had no response from her, I’ve emailed her everyday.

I've been wondering about that myself. Surely, there has to be some disruption. And what about DARKVOICE themselves? They are made in CHENGDU, which as far as I know was at the epicentre of the earthquake.

The Darkvoice factory was badly damaged in the quake. There is a thread on this. Really don't know what the current status for DV is. Its a bad situation
