I ordered my lyr2 on a Friday night and it arrived on a Wednesday afternoon, so they are pretty fast on shipping. I hope you enjoy your lyr 2, when it arrives.

It really depends on where you live. Everytime I've ordered from Schiit it takes 3 days because I live on the east coast and they use Fed-Ex ground (which is just fine). The closer you live to California, the faster you will get your item.

I received mine 10 days after ordering it online but that is during Ramadan.

  Got a Lyr 2 to play with while I wait for my Woo WA5 to ship, plus some tubes to roll. Very happy so far. Great, rock-solid build quality, love the thick aluminum curved case... second only to Woo amps IMHO. The amp is dead quiet, no background noise of any kind at any volume on my LCD-XC, which isn't the least sensitive of headphones by any count. I have plenty of headroom on the low-gain setting, BTW; high-gain appears necessary only for LCD-2/3 or HiFiMen.
 
Stock GE tubes were nice but very bassy, even for my tastes. Swapped in Amperex Orange Globes and the amp became much more neutral, but still nicely warm. It's not going to excite you like a $5k amp, but has virtually unlimited power while still giving you that tube sound.
 
I use 9-pin socket savers to raise the tubes up to make the tubes easier to see and remove. Only problem is the savers are now stuck in the sockets and to remove them I'll either need to disassemble the unit or play a game of Operation with exotic long-nose pliers. Hopefully I've never have to.
 
In summary: A definite keeper. I will own this long-term as a backup amp to my WA5 (at home).

 
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 difficult for sausage finger hands (like mine) to remove for rolling.  So, your post has me intrigued, what are socket savers/spacers and where can I get some?  (link would rock).
 
Guessing something like this? http://www.tubemonger.com/NOVIB_Socket_Saver_with_Vibration_Red_B9A_NOVAL_p/novib.htm

I can indeed remove them with long-nose pliers. I also just got those tube clamp tools from eBay, they should work even better.

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

Can anyone give an opinion of the asgard2 vs the lyr 2

 

[Amalz]

Hello Guys,
Do recommend me LYR 2 with my HD800? or make a noise because the power of Lyr 2 it's so high
My BUD is $500
 

 

[lukeap69]

@MattTCG said thr Valhalla 2 is more suited to HD800 than the Lyr 2 IIRC.
