How would you say the USN CEP sounds in comparison to a Amperex white PQ 6922? They are very close in price. 

I might have to be one of those 7... Currently searching my couch for money.

Less than an hour, I should have specified that. Burn in did cross my mind, they are NOS but I wanted to get my initial impression out.  

Well my tubes showed up and I had absolutely nothing to worry about. I should have worried more about what tubes I'm getting because I'm unsatisfied with what I ordered. I'm pretty sure I got the Amperex 6922, JAN Orange label, US and they're no good for the type of music I listen to. Vocals and...

Just checking, I don't know how brittle tubes are and a search came up with nothing. 

Hey guys, I want to ask your opinion on something real quick. Is it safe to ship tubes in the winter? My tubes are getting old and I need to order a new pair and it's getting cold out now (10°F) What kind of effect do you think this will have on shipping? Being cold and brittle, potentially...

Or just mess with window's volume from 100% and down... But I think that has something to do with SQ

Not sure if anyone really goes through this but it's something that kind of irritates me. Now, currently I've done no prior experiments to even test or try anything I just end up pointing my cell phone at it to see where the volume knob is at.  My Question is does anyone else deal with this in...

So mine show up today... Started off great, I leave my Lyr on while I go out for a couple hours and I come back and there's a hum now in one of the tubes...

Quote: No I was told to stay away from the stock JJ e88cc's I have the GE 6bz7's. And nope bought it new direct from Schiit.

So I have this slight ting-ingness going on. At first it started on the right side then I switched out the tubes and it was fine all day and then it starts again. I can't quite isolate it this time. I blame the stock tubes...

Personally for my Aune I bought the Gold Lion and it was an end-all be all, never did go any further. Relatively cheap and miles beyond the "Upgraded" stock.

Haha yes, my bad coming off as illiterate.

Alright, I have a little inquiry involving the Lyr. Has anyone done the speaker smoke magic trick?? I really don't want to do it with my HD650s or 701's so I'm just trying to think what would be cool...

Someone stole the Orange Globes from under my nose this afternoon from mercedesman6572...  needless to say I was unhappy.. Is he a member on this forum? being such a tube enthusiast.

Quote: It definitely did, they had a bit more kick it was nice. As for the 650's... It's up in the air as of now. A much more darker phone as I've heard, alot more bassy compared to the 701's.

So the FedEx man showed up with my package today!! Very impressed, quick enough shipping. Waiting on the UPS guy to show up know with my Sennheisers.... Edits- can't figure out how to show a picture so here's a link.. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/96/4gas.jpg/?sa=0

I actually use my Yamaha EPH-100's every workout. At first I was worried about sweat and what not but so far nothing has happened they work great, excellent noise cancellation. I even use them twice a week mowing.

Uhh, have we all forgotten... HOW friggen b/a you look with a high gloss band hanging around your neck!?

Quote: Thanks, I plan on waiting I'm just trying to get a feel. Also need to save a little more funding Lol 

Any recommendations on where to find tubes? I can't seem to find the website I bought mine from previously but I'm looking at Tubedepot now..

Alright thanks for the help everyone, I just placed my order for the Lyr and Bifrost. Ouch, lol but I'll be reporting back within a week hopefully!

Thanks I'll have to get involved in the tube rolling thread if I decide the Lyr. So would you say the JJ E88CC tubes aren't the greatest that come with it?
