If anyone is interested in adapters from Yuking/La Figaro let me know and I can inquire about a group buy.

I'd be interested in at least a pair of each, EF80 & EF86. Maybe even two pairs of each; never hurts to have a spare.

I would join as well for both EF80 and EF86 adaptors.

So my 339 is shipped by Massdrop

What are the indications that its the latest revision. I know there was some discussion recently on this, but i have not been following it closely

I know the green capacitors on the bottom is one. Are there any others to look out for?

It's the latest version (green film caps), I've seen pictures of the production. They're not making different/old versions.

I updated the adapter list above

Hey Mizicke,i am waiting some feedback from you,how you like the amp,which tubes are working for you,i saw you have a nice starting collection of tubes.
This thread it's dying,somebody else with another opinions?Waiting time is killin' me,2 months for the drop,another 2 or more until it's here...In the preparation for him i bought EF86 adaptors from Ebay+2 pairs of EF86 german tubes(Valvo and RFT)+Tesla EF806(which is supposed to be the ''super EF86'',with better specs and lower noise)+some nice RCA 6AS7GA-similar with RCA 6AS7G but with different envelope glass(like 6080).I post tomorrow some photos.

I know many of you(me included)are new in the camp of OTL'S amps and i've found a post of @gibosi on the 6AS7 thread which i think is v.important on how to use them without the risk of damaging the headphones:
"In anOTL amp, the headphones are directly connected to the plates of the 6AS7, with nothing in between. Leaving the headphones plugged in from the start, the start-up surge can easily damage headphones. This is not just theoretical. It has happened. And repairing or replacing headphones can be expensive.

So again, for those who own OTL amps, never turn the amp on or off with the headphones plugged in. And again, after turning the amp on, wait several minutes, until the output tubes have reached their normal operating temperatures and stabilized, before plugging in the headphones."
