Im thinking of getting the 339 in the next few months together with HD650s

 
Are the internals a bit like the 332/337? or is it a totally different beast? The 332/337 and HD6x0 are a good pair ive read..

Is there going to be a 339SE version in the future ?
 
Peete.

From what i understand the 339 is aimed at lower impedance phones.

Interestingly the signature on LaFigaro = signature that printed on DarkVoice 337, how can 2 different company use the same signature???  hmmm, no patent?  this is funny right?

They are related if you didn't know.

Why does this amp have two separate plugs and switches?

To be the wet dream of high end power cable manufacturers. Imagine this amp with two Virtual Dynamics Judge cables!

Are there no other 339 owners here that I can gush over this amplifier with?
I like mine better than my Woo Audio 6 and Decware CSP2 that I used to own.

Cool!  I didn't know there were ANY 339 owners yet.  Can you clarify what the input/driver tubes are?

Is this picture helps?

Only sort of.  The 6J4P pictured there seems to be some Chinese octal-base tube that has the same basic properties as the 6AU6/EF94.   The Russian 6J4P is actually a direct equivalent to the 6AU6.  If I have it right, one would need an adapter to use US NOS 6AU6's or European NOS EF94's with the 339, due to the octal base used in it, although this is not conclusive to me from what I have seen so far.

The Russian equivalent is given as 6Ж4С, not as 6Ж4П. Like the last letter (П) suggests, the 6Ж4П is a miniature tube. In fact, I think that even 6Ж4С is a mistake because that would be a glass tube (С). The Russian tube seems to be a metal tube known simply as 6Ж4.

Why do you need there to be other owners for you to tell us how the 339 sounds?

And if it wasn't clear, CV849 = 6AJ7 and 1852 = 6AC7.

1852 = 6AC7 = VT112 = ++

 

[Seamaster]

1852 = 6AC7 = VT112
