I hope you're okay & I hope the pandemic will be over soon. What's your plan? when do you give orders? What's the price?
Transportation may resume in late March, please contact me, US $950 including transportation.

Hi Guys,

I'm been reading a fair bit. I want to get my first OTL tube amp and look no further. Seems tube rolling is a must for this amp. I only have HD800S and THX AAA 789 amp as of now. I would like the warm, lush, musical sound, better bass. Which tubes are good? Tung Sol 5998 and RCA red? Sorry I'm new to tubes. Can anyone share me the links to get these tubes too? Any other good tube suggestions are also welcome. Also, what I needed to know for ordering and maintaining this amp? Thanks guys!

Cheers,
Billy

If you want smooth and warm, those (Tung Sol 5998 and RCA red ) are the tubes NOT to get.
Get affordable black plates 6AS7G and Mullard EF80 (adapter). For a higher budget replace the 6AS7G with 7236. Use google, many good shops out there, you can ebay too but it's less safe regarding quality (unless you know what to look for).

What you need to know is all in this thread, i suggest o fully read it even if it takes time.

  • Impedance: 41Ω
  • Sensitivity: 91.2dB
That's not exactly hard. The 339 wouldn't have issues with it. Though never forget this is an OTL design, while it works with planars, it's not originally designed for it. (current vs voltage)

Does the headphone output accept a 4 pin male XLR?

Definitely the best bang per buck at this price. I tried to get my hands on a review unit but wasn't able to, now I see why- they have to fulfill all these Drop orders

Back when I reviewed the 339, I just bought it.
