@Galapac did you ever get tracking information? I'm coming up to the 1 month mark and still 'unfulfilled' status on ShenzenAudio's site.

I wrote them a text online and they gave me an update of when it would be shipped. Mine took almost a month I believe as they do not have them on hand but get them from the vendor who is on this thread. It should only take a few days to the U.S. once shipped if you live there.

Today they replied -

"Hello, sir. 339i is out of stock, and your order has been processing already, pls be rest. "

I wasn't too worried, just curious. Waiting on it to arrive then

I received this from xmdkq...he must be referring to your amp but sounds like he just sent it.
I would private message him.
xmdkq is the person that builds these 339i's.

"Today, it has been sent to Shenzhen from Chengdu. I don't know if your 339i has changed a new machine for users."

Has been replaced with a new 339i

Does the 339 pair well with Planars? I have a HE-500 and I'm considering getting a 339.

For the HE-500, in particular, it does pair really well. If you read back through the thread, you'll see mention that the La Figaro is one of better pairings for the HE-500. I have both and invested in each as I liked what I read about the combo. I also have a pair of LCD-2C and while it does sound good out of the 339, the HE-500 is leagues a head with good tubes. I've found a very affordable tube combo, which hits all the spots that I really enjoy.

What tubes do you use?

What has changed? New 339i version or just an upgrade to original 339?

Shenzhen audio do QA checks for their stock, there might have been a defect so they asked for a replacement unit. With the state of the world I'm not going to stress to much over shipping times.. it'll get here when it gets here. Enjoying my 789 in the meantime

Link to one of my posts about GEC CV4079 combo

tintinsnowydog's CV4069 Adapter Post

GEC CV4079 w/ CV4079/A2293 adapters from EBay as Power Tubes and Telefunken EF 800 as Driver Tubes.

Around page 300 is info on the CV4079/A2293 adapters, you can also check out the GlennOTL thread or the 6AS7G Tube thread. Both those threads have some info on the adapters as well.

Cool! I have that in my lineup as well. The THX 789 is so dead quiet and accurate. I have a Topping D70 that feeds both the 789 (balanced) and the 339i and switch between the two regularly depending on my mood or type of music I’m listening to.

 

[adeadcrab]

you should try 339i as a preamp to the 789 and report back here...

If I did that I would fear that i may lose some of that "tube sound" as it is filtered through the 789 but I'll give it a try when I have some time.
It might be an interesting experiment if it was a hybrid of the tube and solid state giving a unique sound by combining the best qualities of both.

Right now the output from my 3339i feeds into the Dark Voice but I hardly use that amp anymore because well...the 339i is superior. It's not that the Dark Voice is a slouch but the 339i with it's separate left/right channels and more power gives it the edge.
