Wish i could, like xmdcq said the 337 is different structure than 339, but i think some of the mods can be apply too. We can talk about it on London Meet, u coming right?
How do you guys use the dual mono volume knobs? Am I suppose to adjust them till the singer is in the dead centre? I always adjust the left first then the right.
Also, the right power tube (facing towards the amp) is glowing a tiny bit brighter. Any cause for alarm?

That used to bug me (tube OCD)... but no it doesn't matter. my right TS5998 glows a little brighter too.

From the stereophile review of the 30000€ Orpheus :
"Two separate level controls would've been a nice touch, but there's only one" (speaking of the tube amp in the Orpheus set)
Luckily the 339 has two!
Thanks Wall-E again!
I will try that battery bias for sure now! Seems doable enough! How would you describe the bass response to the fix battery bias? I am always looking for more bass extension and weight.
Drivers it's true, but I find driver affect more the treble and mids, while power tubes affect more the low end. Although I confess that I find all tubes good sounding, just different purpose for different music gender!
Oh and with so many tubes Under the Hood, it's like an endless matching game where you can make so much combination, it's like a game, and when a combination stood out, you are pleasantly surprised!
Yes, collection and combination of tubes make me addictive.
But, I think the new user of 339 don't need to cost a lot money for expensive power tubes (GEC 6AS7G, Bendix 6080WB, Tungsol 5998), because,the ordinary tubes is good enough (Raytheon 6080, RCA 6080, Slyvania 6080).
I have to disagree with you on this. I feel LF339 sounds terrible with stock tubes - my Yulong D100's amp section is better. Upgrading to TS5998 and RCA5693 tubes make a world of difference, have amazing detail and hence the reason why I'm in love with this amp and selling my V200
