I just won a Darkvoice 336i from Casque Hi-Fi from an Ebay auction last night. This one was at an auction. The last one sold before it fetched $230.00. Mine went for substantially less, $157.55. There is just no way to tell how these auctions will end. They have 2 more listed at auction ending Wednesday night and Thursday night, respectively. It should be interesting how those end.

I want to have the unit it in an office setting with a cd player as an input.

Congrats, now take the money you saved and buy some nice tubes.

I am already trying to figure what would go best in this thing. I am partial to old USA NOS tubes anyway. However, I see that there are some Russian equivalents to the 6SN7 and 6AS7.

Congrats on your WIN and enjoy tube rolling ! I liked using the NOS RCA
6AS7G & 6SN7GTB in my Darkvoice 336i

riv-

Been having alot of fun with mine. Had it about 5 weeks now. On my third set of tubes and pretty happy with these. When do you expect to get your hands on it? Got mine from Jasmine, so dunno what the shipping service is like from Casque. Plenty of good info here about the 336i. I was originally set on the LDII++ til the forum changed my mind (no regrets)...

hehe, I bought mine from casque hifi a while back. It shipped on thursday last week, paid a whopping 110 USD for the shipping. Hasn't arrived as of yet. Hoping it'll arrive this week. Can't wait !;p

The RCA clear glass 6SN7 sells for less than the smoked glass version. What is the difference?

I have several NOS RCAs & Sylvania 6AS7s, and a Svetlana is now the permanent resident of the 336i back hole, with an Amperex Bugle Boy driving...sweet, to be sure!

ps; Anyone wanna buy RCAs cheap?

If I hear the word 'Svetlana' one more time, I'm gonna have to get one...

 

[AKChastain]

Not really a surprise, but better than an ugly tie!! And I already ordered an RCA grey glass. Can't wait to see how the Beresford and my new MS2i's sound!

I'm not TOTALLY impressed with mine.. my grey-plate RCA 6AS7 is better IMO.

 

[Jo6Pak]

Where do ya get those (grey plate RCA)? I have an RCA 6AS7 in the rear slot now, but never paid any attention to the plates color. I'm assuming they are black...

 

[Skylab]

I agree with Nick, I much prefer the RCA 6AS7 (both grey and black plate) over the Svetlana. The Svetlana tubes take all the romance out of the equation.

The Grey plates are very grey. You'd never mistake them for black. The Black plates could be mistaken for very dark grey if you didn't have a grey-plate to compare it to.
