Hi @wazzupi that's the one I ask Mrs Xu Ling to make for converting EF80 to 6SN7..... to be used in Elise tube amp. So that's NOT the one. :)

You should be getting this if you want to buy from ebay.

or get the EF86 to 6sj7 - I really think EF86 sounds better than EF80 but EF86 tubes are way more expensive ; I've both. EF86 sounds clearer and more vivid. EF80 is more relaxed and not as detailed but that could be a good thing sometimes.... :)

However, I would try and get it from Yuking. His adapters are much nicer and better made. This is the picture of it. What I have is the EF80 to 6sj7. I want to get the EF86 to 6sj7 from him.

Wow, wow and just wow. EF86 and Bendix 6080wb sounding so good now....

I really think that Yggy made a tremendous difference. I've not heard LF339 sound like this before.

There's details galore now plus La Figaro 339 trademark slam and power. It's a deadly combination. :)

Hi guys, I have just bought 339, it is avery nice amp. But i suppose there is a problem on my amp's pods. I am hearing noise when I play the pods, this noise can be hearing for both pods left and right.

there is a second problem but i dont know whether it is a problem or not. I am using t90 and seems amp can't give enough power to headphone. I could get enough power over two pm position, i suppose it might be related pod problem, what do you think guys? Is there anybody who suffered same kinds of problem?

I completely agree the 339 scales with source.

I have lost many nights of sleep with this amplifier, having been particularly raptured by the very combination you cite above.

What a beautiful chassis, too. How can one not love the 339?

What is a "pod" and how does one play them? :D
Most of us never go higher than 8 or 9 on the volume dial, I don't either, not even with the T90. 339 can power 10 T90's but the question is, what are you feeding in to the 339? Over 2PM position: I would be deaf after 30 seconds

Correct.

Thank you for your answer, what about 6sn7gt pre tubes, can they be used on this amp?

You cannot use 6sn7 on the LF339. Why would you need to though?

EF80 and EF86 with adapters sound so good you really dont need other drivers. Just vary your power tubes.

You also have the 6sj7 and Rca 5693 reds.

Yggy > La Figaro 339 > HD800 or HD650 sounds very very good..... with Mullard EF86 and a selection of power tubes. :smile_phones:

I'm looking at you avatar photo though. I can see a Holo Spring Level 3 and a Bryston? there. Bet you're having lots of fun there.
