Schiit Lyr Tube Rollers
OK, well I got my Amperex Holland Bugle Boys in, and I almost feel like everything about them except for the soundstage compared to the 6N1P-EV are just less defined and rounded off.

Schiit Lyr Tube Rollers
Just threw in a pair of NOS Anod Factory 6N1P-EV. I'm not well versed in describing what I hear, but they are warmer than the stock GE 6BZ7, have tighter bass, and seem to hit the highs higher.

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
I have been using my HD600 for a few months out of a Lyr with stock tubes and all I can say is absolutely love it. They are laid back in tonality, yet their detail is astonishing. It's literally euphoric to listen to them. I'm addicted :)- kelim

This seems a bit cheap doesn't it? If you search PCC88 there's one right below it for twice the price. And this one has free shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-exact-Match-1-pair-PHILIPS-PCC88-7DJ8-TUBE-similar-ECC88-6DJ8-/261180551334?hash=item3ccf92f0a6:g:hbMAAMXQBwlRNwFu- kelim

Sorry about that. Haven't gotten around to updating my sig yet. I thought you were assuming I had the Lyr 2. Either way, thanks for the reply as it will probably be helpful to someone who knows a little less than me (nothing). Though your extended ellipsis made you sound a bit harsh.- kelim

Schiit Lyr Tube Rollers
Does anyone know if this guy is a reputable seller? These are some possibly really good deals. Also, how do I tell if tubes are fake before buying, if at all possible?- kelim
