Power tubes you mean?

Yes, it does!

Just need to figure how to buy one; direct or wait for luckyfrogaudio to stock them?

Must say I like the double volume control. It's very convenient to have some control over channel balance, particularly as my ears aren't equally sensitive. And because the volume knobs have these cutouts, there is always a marked 'shadowline' that shows in one glance if the knobs are rotated about the same. Just look at the first photo I posted on page 6 and you know what I mean.

Your wish is my command!

Yuking has kindly sent me a 332s and a 332c? which should be arriving in the UK fairly shortly.

Are there any known mods for the Darkvoice 332? I was just wondering because in the future I'd love to replace some of the caps and tube sockets with better ones.

Go to the 332 thread. In the final couple of pages, PrTv talks about a friend of his who modded the 332:

"My friend modified his DV332 by replacing most of its component inside with audio-grade parts, and replacing the stock IEC socket with one from Furutec.

At the end the amp sounded a lot better and to my surprise, the synergy with ATH W5K significantly improved. My friend even preferred this amp to the HA5000 (which was designed originally by ATH to use with its W5K headphones)."

Obvious upgrade would be the capacitors, output and power, and a better volume pot.

新的管应该用于超过100小时，如果有一些噪音，如果有，你可以告诉我在那个时候。

I did a search before but I'll do another with his username. I was thinking of replacing all the caps later down the road, and the tube sockets.
One thing I was wondering is if it was possible to completely replace the type of tube that the 332 used to make it like a mini 337. Or would that destroy the amp/my headphones/my wallet?

New Tubes should be burnt in for 100 hours. After burn in, if you still hear some noise, you can tell me.

translated from chinese

I am hoping my guess in #23 & #25 goes wrong...

Anything is possible, but, as you said, is it worth it. The 332 was designated "little 337" by DARKVOICE, so it is already very similar sonically to the 337. Saying that, if you look at the designs of both they do not appear to be too dissimilar, so maybe it could be done.

 

[gbacic]

maybe I could start an entire new trend:
Tube socket rolling

hmmmmm

 

[spookygonk]

These do look lovely .

Hi Tony,

Typical of my luck, I've been in all day answering emails. The moment I decide to take the dog for a short walk around the block is the same moment the UPS man tries to deliver the two amplifiers.

The attempted delivery card is timed at 14:00. Missed him by four minutes!

Hopefully he will redeliver tomorrow so the two amps can be compared and the 332s photographed.

 

[BigTony]

Hahaha,

Bloody typical!
