I found mine opened up an amazing ammount with stock tubes somewhere between 70-90 hours randomly, was quite a surprise and jump in change.

Does anyone know if keeping the black spring protective casing tops on the back tubes make any difference in sound quality/distortion, perhaps helping with microphonics or would it be better to leave them off to help with heat dissipation?

I found they make no change to the sound of the amp at all. Personally, I remove them, then fit a good set of tube dampers.

I noticed some sharpie pen on my tubes, from the seller noting matched pairs. Do you think that the sharpie ink poses a problem to the tubes and should I wipe it off, or is it not a really big deal.

God damn that's a good looking amp. Sexy.

 

[Godkin]

I wouldn't worry about it, Koolpsych. If it's not affecting the sound quality, just leave it alone.

Sweet looking amp! I really want this for my HD650...

Yes as far as I know the darkvoice 3322 can be used as a preamp through rca outputs, although as to the quality of the darkvoice as a preamp, I have not heard very many ecstatic reviews.

i have tried and i can brieftly say that it is nice. the bass extension goes very deep. preamp thru with larocco pr ii my k702 sings more smoothly.

How do you think the Ultrasone Pro 900 would fare on this amp.

Please post more reviews!!!!! I am really interested in this amp!!! How does it compare whit 336,337 etc. ?

 

[GWorlDofSPACE]

I have AKG K701!!!!

Thank you, Nice review!

The 3322 sits somewhere in between the 336SE and 337SE. The 337SE is DV's flagship amp, but the 3322, like its predecessor the 332, is a "little 337" and gives you 90% of the sound for about half the price.

The 3322 is a superb amp. I'm listening to Holst's "The Planets" and the scale of the sound, the soundstaging and drive, is simply first-rate.

Ohh dear. This has me drooling. My DV332 may be going up for sale soon.
