No.

If you're looking for a bright/treble heavy sound, solid state is the way to go. That said, not all solid states are bright, and not all tubes are warm. Research reviews for sound signatures of the amps you're looking at, or better yet audition the gear first if you can. Make your decision based...

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. Hard to tell if a tube has soundstage and "OMG 3D HOLOGRAPHIX" with the HD600, but this tube does seem a bit...

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. They also don't glow as bright as the 6BZ7. I wonder if this is because they require quite a bit more...

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 :)

Anyone know if I got a good deal on these? Seems like there are a few different types of 6DJ8 Bugle Boys out there... I'm a bit of a noob and this was an impulse buy, lol.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/122517653949 Just bought these. Did I do good?

Um, it looks like a bunch of posts were just deleted from this thread. What?

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

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.

I have the Lyr 1......................

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?

Just bought those and the 6N1P-VI from tubes-store.com 3 and 2 dollars a piece, respectively.

Hi. Has anyone heard the 6N1P-EV Anod tubes?

I've been here since 2006... does that count? I hardly have posted. I must be the ultimate lurker.

I'm all for pretty UIs, but in this case, I want the old site back.

Getting a 1st gen Schiity Lyr in the mail today. Stock tubers. Pysched as a mofo! Can't wait to nerd out on them with my HD600. Dac is Micca Origen+, hope it doesn't bottleneck it.

No, I don't have a job right now. Plus, this is supposed to be my birthday present from my parents. They want to know what to get me ASAP. :/

Quote: well my D1001s don't really have much bass on the contrary...   but then again I feel like the bass it does have is very tight and controlled. I love these cans but I'm yearning for something different. and I definitely want MORE bass, along with nice smooth mids and detailed...

well the thing is my budget is 200 total right now. Maybe some IEMs and an over the ear?

right now i've got a denon 1001K unmodded and a monoprice 8320 driven by an E17. Open or closed, I'm just looking for something that's great for listening to all day long, not fatiguing and pairs well with tubes, should I upgrade to that in the future. My sources are onboard PC audio and PSP Go.

I'm looking into getting either the Qinpu A3 or the 6000. I will be using the amp for gaming and all types of music and watching anime/TV/movies pretty much all day long. What headphones under $200 should I get to start off with?

My grandfather was just diagnosed with lung cancer as well. I know it's unrelated, but I know what Rick and his family are going through. I haven't visited these forums in a long time, but I always think about you guys when I put on my Denons. Now I will think and pray solely for Rick when I'm...
