I completely agree. The HE-500 is a great match (as i said before)
what tubes are you using? And where did you get the TS?

Yeah ur absolutely rite..339 has enough power to drive the HE-500 really well..im now using the green labeled TS 5998 with the red hots RCA 5693 tubes...the RCA sounds better than the TFK EF80 i used before..it sounded more warm and gives it a better mid..
 
i got the TS when im back in Indonesia.its quite cheap there and easy to find..

Okay, well... is the amp 'dark' sounding?
 
 
T5p is only 32 ohm btw, quite sensitive.

That's cause everyone's happy with the 339
Hmm, I was thinking of mailing Yuking to see if there's news about the new amp
 
 

 

[keph]

well i guess for now he is not gonna produce any other amps yet..he told me that an upgraded 339 will be available though..he also ask me if i want to upgrade my 339.but for now im happy with my new combo 339-he500.since im in china its easy for me to upgrade my 339, just send my amp to a city called Chengdu and he will upgrade the components for a sum of money (depending on what u are modding)..maybe next year ill upgrade my 339..so wait for any news guys..
 
all these chats with him i did it through a Chinese messenger called QQ.
