Not really liking the inclusion of pre-amp lines. I hope they are not always-on like on the Darkvoice.

Absolutely gorgeous, @xmdkq, congratulations! Long-standing proud owner of the original 339 here, and I always thought of it as being timeless. It provides me so much joy, I didn't see, why I would ever want to upgrade (yes, some of the mods shared were tempting). Here I go, hoping we all get out of this crisis and you keep building those wonderful devices. Thank you!

...having addressed the looks, the question remains how it sounds! :) Eagerly awaiting your review over on Headfonia.

I reviewéd the orignial 339 way back in 2011 or so, it was the first 339 review on a main western platform. Many amps were sold after that simple review, lol.

There are no direct plans to review the newest version, but if multiple readers want me to look at it again, I can contact Yuking.

I know, I know, and I actually blame you for my good fortune, as the amp and my HD650 became an inseparable couple since then! I see, I misread your post then, I thought you actually had access to one. Alright, let me put this into the hands of the community, Yuking, but I also bank on your insatiable curiosity (unless you put your tubes out for recycling in the meantime).

Dusting off my tubes in anticipation :).

Just went over to eBay and I’m shocked by the extent prices have moved over resent years. Given the finite supply, I guess, there is only one direction....
