i own both 8xx and 800s - they (8xx) sound great with the various EQ filters i've used, really it comes down to adding a little bass and doing something about the massive dip in the upper mids the stickers did very little to change mine - i took the cans wholly apart and soaked the metal in...

yeah that gain knob is hot. i haven't switched into high gain yet because on low i'm not able to raise it much past 9am (currently listening to cd900st and anything past 830 is too loud on low gain!)

you know i thought i heard some glitter in the highs when i first started to listen - now that the amp has been on for a few hours - that is all gone. listening to violin and piano, slightly louder than i normally would - and those crescendos are clean... but i definitely heard some scratch...

starting my listening with the t60rp 50th you see peeking in one of those photos. low gain, plenty of range, i'm well ahead of 10am on the dial while listening to Fruit by the A's. using roon, local CDs ripped to flac and tidal/qobuz streaming. no EQ. i'm one of those yahoos that thinks...

and i just checked ... now shows that it arrived in kansas city and will be delivered tomorrow. all you had to do was say it would show up today and i wouldn't be waiting! thanks nick76, thanks a lot! :D

USPS has pretty terrible tracking updates for me - mine shows delivering today but still sitting in the initial distribution center in TX I have a ddhifi 2.5 to 4.4 for my quidelix5k - as i own exactly zero cans with 2.5 but 4 or 5 with the 4.4 (you practically need a degree to understand all...

holy cable adapters batman... is that 6.3 to 3.5 to 4.4? either way - good looking amp, i think mine is arriving tomorrow!

i mean it is awfully cheeky to be directed to a source and say you prefer someone else sum it up for you because you can't be bothered reading through said material. not for nothing but that's how information gets jumbled. who wants their bits and bobs secondary or tertiary to the source...

oh you want the cliff notes version? oh ok... is it a cosmetic update? no. there you go!

just checked shipping - things are in transit and should arrive on the 21st.

I have a lyr+ with an apos ray 6sn7 topping it. i don't except a vast sonic gulf, i know differences in this hobby are usually discreet. but i'm happy to offer up what i hear when ABing the two...

i have used the roger with my 300 and 600ohm cans. my gear gets cycled a lot and honestly, i can't remember what it sounded like with some of my other units - i've got cd900st, 600s, edition xs and about 10 others i never put it through any paces with. i got the lyr and the roger around the...

just ordered my vali 3... can't wait to start plugging stuff into it and see how much she differs from the lyr+ (quite a bit i'd imagine...) my only other tube amp, besides the lyr, is a tor roger and that thing is as clean as a whistle - looking forward to hearing some actual "distortion"!

i got one of those apos ray 6sn7 tubes and it's sticking out the top of my lyr+ / that's been my go-to amp for almost everything lately. i'll dig the piety out soon enough and get it connected back up to check the combo out...
