Thanks a lot! The new 339i looks beautiful! I have a meridian 596 drive, play cd like a champ, if you still use CD, try one, it's stellar!Beautiful picture. Just got my new 339i. The Meridian gear is nice too. Always fancied one of their old CD players.
Very nice! It's refreshing to see your thoughtful component selection and layout. I especially appreciate the fact your rig isn't stacked component on component like the Tower of Babel.Sennheiser HD800S
Meridian 861
LaFigaro 339
Quite the cabaret show with those red curtains over the headphones, hehe
Yes, that 339i is beautiful in silver, and that is a handsome tube set. Stock or something else?Thanks a lot! The new 339i looks beautiful! I have a meridian 596 drive, play cd like a champ, if you still use CD, try one, it's stellar!
My 861 produce zero noise floor, I put the 339 on max volume level in order to bypass the pots completely, and I have zero noise hehe.
I then have the luxury of remote volume level, and I can also use the equaliser with my Stax setup. Great combo of modern DAC and preamp with tube power section ^^
How does maxing the volume on the 339i bypass the pots or do you mean you are just using the preamp out of the 339i to feed into 861, controlling the volume on that instead? I do something similar but with my setup but I only need the 339i up to 9, maybe 10 o'clock and still get plenty of volume out of my Phonitor xe.Thanks a lot! The new 339i looks beautiful!

Those GEC and mesh tubes are definitely not stock, high end tubes for sure as 339i comes with stock Chinese tubes.Yes, the 339 is beautiful, and that is a handsome tube set. Stock or something else?
Nice try. The farthest to the right are a pair of OneOdio Studio Pro 50, bought for 25 € or so. I use them for riding my bike, as I'm not afraid to damage them. Plus they keep my ears warm in winter.I recognize those Yenona/Freeboss closed backs up front.
Just took this now:
