Please be aware that the 337 I received last month does *NOT* have pre-amp outs.

Can you post a pic of the back? There is only one set of RCA's on the back?

You have the latest version.

i seen a pic recently of the newer model (maybe the last ?).
it did have just the two connectors on the back.

i have the 2009 version it came without the tube cage (although fittings are still there).
internally it looks like the se model (without the changed tube ).
are any two of these amps identical ?,there seem to be quite a few variations.

Heh, they've been going thru a lot of changes there. The tube cage is worthless, no loss there, unless you use tubes like the 6080's because the cage won't fit. I've never used the pre-amp outs, so no feedback there.

I agree - the only thing the tube cage ever did for me was scratch the paint on my 337 when it shipped to me, since it came loose in transport. I never used it otherwise. They should have skipped it.

I heard they stopped supplying the cage due to the damage it was inflicting on the amps finish during transit.looked hideous anyway.
i use mullard 6080's but i doubt i would ever use it.

Sure. Yes, there is only one set of RCAs:

That's right, I think they removed the pre-outs half-way through 2009.

Strange, I ordered and received mine in December 2009 and it came with the tube cage. Needless to say, it was removed immediately after unpacking and will never go back on!

Hi,
Thanx for the pic. I may convert mine to loop outs.

i got mine mid September 09,i didnt get a cage but i have four rca's on the back.

I'm looking at buying a 337 (not SE) on Friday. I wish it had a bit more of a "tubey" sound to it--as from what I've read it's pretty neutral sounding--but I suspect I will be able to find some good tubes that will give it a bit more of the flavor I'm looking for. I will be pairing it with 650s and 770s (250ohm) so there should be no impedance problems. At the very least, I figure that this will be a very good amp to judge the success of the amp that I am in the process of designing.

I will probably be making some posts in the next few days/weeks regarding that design. In the mean time though, this amp will need some "tubey" tubes =D

 

[Skylab]

Well, I would start they with RCA 6AS7G's. As far as 6AS7's go, they are pretty tubey.

 

[dBs]

That sounds good. I'll look into those while I wait for the 337 to arrive. I'm getting excited, for the amp, but more so that I think I am getting really close now to knowing enough to start consulting the forums here for what they want to see in a DIY amp project.

1st Post!

Welcome!

Do you have any changes to the 337 or 337SE to announce? I thought you had dropped the Pre-amp outputs, but I still see the pre-amp outputs in the pix on your website?
