Been so long I had forgotten I still have the La Figaro. Have to dust it off and have a listen again.

Then, what have you been listening to?

Then, what have you been listening to?

Presently using Studio Six, Oblivion, Woo Audio WA22 and Burson Conductor V2+. Anyway got the La Figaro out with Mullard EF86 as drivers and Bendix 6080wb for power tubes. The bass is amazing. This has to be one of the best bass weight I've come across.

Has aged a bit but still sound great. LF 339 is one of those rare gems.

It seems towards the end of many head fier's tube journey sits a Studio Six. Have to try one one day

What’s happened to the yuking 09 website?

It looks like their site has been suspended. I hope this is temporary as I ordered the 6J4P to EF86 adapter from the site and can no longer communicate with them. I hope they did not go out of business.

Thanks for sharing your setups. My 339 uses a pair of Russia 6080 and a pair of Russia EF86 equivalents, its sounds good.

What headphones are you using with your LF339? The last couple of days I've been using HiFiMan Arya, Beyer T1.2, Audeze LCD-3f, HD800 and ZMF Verite. This amp sounds great for the price.

I've here using Mullard CV1376 or EF80 drivers with Bendix 6080wb driving LCD-3f. It's arguable whether the LCD-3f sounds better with the Burson Conductor V2+ (which I have here) or the La Figaro 339. I like the LCD-3f with both amps and bass is taken to another level. Details are still very clear and vocals are luscious.

So many amps to try. You have the V280. I once audition the Ragnarok against the Violectric V281 and ended up buying the Ragnarok. A few years later I wonder if I should have gotten the Violectric V281 instead.

However I digress, this is La Figaro 339 show here and I can assure you it's a stunningly good sounding amp.

How does the combination of 339 + T1.2 sound to you? especially compared with LCD-3f

339 and T1.2 is more relaxed with an emphasis on the mids and bass, especially lower bass. Sounds great to me. Could have been my daily setup. Surprisingly, LCD-3f is brighter - although both headphones could never be termed bright lol. Only in comparison. LCD-3f has better clarity and details in treble and upper mids. Bass is the LCD-3f famed attribute.

So in short, I could have happily live with T1.2 and 339. You need a lot more volume for the T1.2 though. I'm at 10am now for T1.2 but for LCD-3f I only need to set it at 9am.

My preferred power tubes for the 339 are Tung Sol 5998, 7236 and Bendix 6080wb. Had the GEC 6as7g before but don't think it's worth burning the dollars for it.

As it is, the Svetlana 6h13c that I'm using now isn't too shabby and is good enough for your daily use.

Did you mention these tubes in the written order?
