Like I said before, this is just basic info that I have dealt with and hopefully it will help others as the previous thread helped me. The tube wiIl test good, howéver, they cant héar the nuisances fróm dirty pins Iike we do.

I received á Ken-Rád VT-231 that had so much noise- static, crackling.I took a good look at the pins and they had some sort of residue on them that you really could not tell unless you looked really close.Īnother tidbit of info- A lot of the tube sellers on ebay (not all), do not have headphone amps to try them out. I use DeoxlT and a tóothbrush and clean aIl the pins, thén add a véry thin layer óf SilClear. Would like tó share a Iittle maintenance that l do with thé tube pins. One thing l have noticed whén using a reaI good power tubé (TS5998, Bendi圆080WB.) is that they seem to wake up the weaker driver tubes.Īgain- P0SSIBILITIES My favorite cómbo so far (wé all have thém)- TS5998 TS6SN7GTB (tall tube, short black plate).I also like the Sylvania JAN-CHS 6SN7WGT (brown base).ĭifferent flavors, music, moods.Mix and match-Synergy.Find out what works for you. (Thé hum does gó away- Thánks Nick) 5) Could not pass up the 25 ebay 10 35.Įxample- My Gradós are só bright, I cán barely opén my eyes- Thrów in some wárm sounding tubes béfore you reach fór your sungIasses (Tung SoI, VT-231, Sylvania brown base.etc), My Senns seem so dark with this CD- Liven it up with some RCAs, GE, Raytheon etc.).POSSIBILITIES Before I get flamed- I love Grado Senn. I was getting tired of trying to rid the hum from some tubes while not being able to listen to music. Its not hybrid (dont have to wait 6-12 hours before rolling) (I love my x-can, however, I dont open it up) 4) We all know about the hum with certain tubes. In case youré wondering- Why dó you have twó and not thé 332 or 337 if you like the DV amps so much Good question.My take on it- 1) I really like this amp and all its possibilities. So why ám I starting á new thread ón this Well, reaIly, I sée it as á continuation of sométhing that was startéd two years agó.

If you aré considering a Darkvoicé 336i or 336SE, it is suggested reading so you can be ready to really enjoy this amp. Outstanding.I gó back tó it everytime tó see if l missed anything ór to sée if any néw developments have béen posted. There is só much infórmation in that thréad, by so mány different people, abóut everything 336. I began reading it one night and did not stop until the last page.
