WTB: iFi ZEN DAC V2 or ZEN DAC Signature V2.

Looking for a mint, black Loki Mini+

Cool; thanks guys.

I thought tapping was not recommended on tubes and I was afraid to run it without one of the tubes installed... I guess no one else has tried to figure out which tube goes to which channel?

Does anyone know which tube position is the left/right channel on the Lyr 2? ie: What stereo channel (left or right) is the front tube located closest to the front-panel (where volume knob is located)?

Thanks for the help. I sent him a PM.

6SJ7GT, but I meant the revision of the amplifier such as estimate of the year...

Is there some method of determining what revision a 339 is by its physical appearance?

I understand the info is probably in here somewhere, but I was referring to a specific guide thread with tube rolling info in the first post, or at least within the first 1,000 posts perhaps; ~3,803 posts is a pretty long read.  Anyhow, guess I will just have to read it sometime.      ...

Is there a tube rolling guide thread for this amp? Thanks guys!

Thanks for the input guys.   Those RCA 6SJ7GT look very nice.

      That's the second time someone has recommended the 6SJ7GT with Mesh Plates so I will have to give them a try.    Is there a common source you guys buy those from?

Holy post count!  I've tried to read back through the thread's 160+ pages, but I'm going to be a complete turd and ask...  So what is everyone recommending for HD-650's in regards to input tubes?   My favorites on my La Figaro 332 Classic were Voshkod 6ZH1P-EV, but I am now upgrading to a 339...

  What were you impressions with the Gold Lions?  Thanks.

  Thanks, I believe I'm going to order a pair.  Probably from upscale also since I checked out their site after you mentioned them and I like it better...

  Are these the gold lions you are referring to?:   https://tubedepot.com/products/genalex-gold-lion-e88cc-6922-preamp-vacuum-tube   And does their options matter (balanced triodes, low noise & microphones)?   Thanks.

Thanks for the link and additional info; that's a much better price than the one I found.

  Very much contemplating getting a Lyr 2 for additional power output and wider range can compatibility, upgrading from what I feel is one of the most beautiful OTL amps, La Figaro 332.  With that said, I very much dislike that the tubes on the Lyr 2 are mostly hidden and look to be very...

haha, indeed.  So many reviews of everyone buying one of the 5 series, then selling it and buying another 5 series then still finding weaknesses in both; I just figure that it's not worth going through all that trial and error again since I know what I feel was perfect already.  Asgard 2 is...

Thanks for the insight.  I think of the HD-5xx series 598 is probably what I'd go with, but after reading a ton of reviews on here of all three I think I may just grab another set of HD-650 because I don't think I would ever be satisfied with a 5 series.  Plus the 650's go for $352 shipped new...

Resurrected!  Seriously though, both of these cans are pretty cheap currently due to all the sales ($99 shipped for the HD558) so here is my question related to this topic because I'm going to grab one of these cans.  I've tried a bunch of stuff over the years in the mid-fi range, some examples...

Thought that I would report back, I received my replacement headphones on 11/1/2012.

Thanks again for your help, I received an e-mail response shortly after the above post and the representative is checking on the status of my replacements.
