    I ordered a DarkVoice 336SE today to use with HD650, had some AliExpress Coupons almost expiring so got a decent deal (~180 USD). Might bug you re: tube rolling soon heheh

    @Rockin_Zombie I'm not too knowledgeble with the tubes used in that amp (6N8P, 6N5P) , but I think 6N8P can be replaced with 6SN7, which would imply that 7N7 would work too. If that's the case I'd recommend the Sylvania 7N7 with adapter. Easy to find, cheap and rugged. For 6N5P I'd try the cheap russians to replace the chinese tubes. But I really don't know this amp or the tubes used.

    Thanks for the suggestions! Apparently tube rolling is quite good on that amp, except some tubes develop a hum at first which goes away after an hour (this is all from the HF thread). I will let you know. My first tube amp, let's see how far down the rabbit hole goes!

    @Rockin_Zombie A word of caution: tube rabbit holes have no end. HF is a dangerous place in that aspect. The hype is always present. Feel free to reach out for hand-holding should you need to :)
