Did you change the volume knob to gold @Galapac and what's that input tube again? using the EF86 adapter?

The knobs are machined aluminum in red against the black 339i, my 2 favorite colors. That is the 6084/E80F tube that I like. I use that and the Tung-Sol mesh 6SJ7GT the most.

So just to confirm, these tubes use the EF86 adapter? I ask because I have 2 Yuking's adapters - EF80 and EF86.

I don't think our version of LF339i can use the L63 even with an adapter without some customisation of the amp. @telecaster actually modified our version of LF339 to run with L63 and 6F5 drivers. Now he has to create special adapters just to run 6SJ7 and EF86 on it ! He's going backwards lol.

Yes my version is the 6j5g driver version. Can use 6c5 too, L63 is a 6j5g in a straight tube. 6j5v, 6j5gt works too. It use a little bit different parts (two resistors value change).

I then made a adapter to use my TS mesh 6as7g.

I also modified an adapter to use EF86 on it. But if it wasn't for the sake of my 100% Telefunken setup, the 6j5g/L63 is better for setup. It's a very good triode, sounds perfect to me, and i have lots of nice tubes already

The mod for 6j5g is pretty easy to do.

hehe thats pretty extreme, so definitely answers my question. Thanks.

The two side of the 339 are completely indépendant, you can power one at a time, there are not related electrically at all. They just share the ground, that's it.

I can say the e80f is a substitute for EF86. Just for information, Telefunken never made that e80f, it's a rebrand from dario or amperex i think.

I use E86 adapters for E80F.

But not EF80, E80CF, and EC80F. Can't they just develop a better naming system?

Yuking started offering a customised version of LF339 that use L63 / 6J5 long before those tubes were popularised in the Glenn thread and other threads. As someone who has been on all these thread I've seen how 6J5 grew in demand.

Yeah I was looking up some tubes lately and noticed that trend too! It's not too bad since 339 users cannot use them in the stock amp yet ^^

You can also get a 76 to 6C5/6J5 adapter on ebay. I have a set but haven't tried 76 tubes yet. Sorry I never got around to getting the pin readout @telecaster, looks like you figured it out though.

A busy day at the office. Bifrost 2 coming today and I journey back to Canberra next weekend bringing all my gear - then I can compare LF339 and LF339i with Yggdrasil.

Please tell us if the 76 is nice in there! Don't worry, it's fine, I triode strapped the pentode EF86 in a proven method so it's all good!

I don't expect LF339i to function to the standard of a high end HiFi preamp unit. That would be asking too much. It's just too difficult to hook up to my HiFi system.

There it is - the whole mess.

And this guy says he's not a hardware guy. If that isn't a hardware guy, then I don't know what is!

You’re not seeing it right. These are software.

Back to the study, the amps and dac go. Now all my fav amps together for me to connect at will. I still use La Figaro 339i the most. With Bifrost 2 and He1000se, it's an incredible sound.

 

[telecaster]

I really wondering how the he1000 sounds on the 339i
