    Comment by 'reg66' in item 'Schiit Lyr+'

    Are you sure the hiss isn't coming from source - ie if connected via PC USB to DAC. I had a fair amount of interference/noise/hiss with my Lyr (3 and +) until I narrowed it down to source noise. Basically the powered USBs were the issue. If the above is a possiblity, you could try an OTG...

    Keen to hear both of your impressions comparing the 2 (Apos Reserve and PSvane Classic TII)

    No shipping outside of US/Canada. Oh well, saves me money. But i want it soo bad now, especially as i can't have it!

    New review on this tube here (Passion for Sound). I am a little gutted to have watched it tho. The Lyr+ was mentioned as a kind of minimum standard for spending this amount on a tube vs amp quality and price. Although it wasn't used in Lyr+, the opinion was that this tube will really sing in it...

    Yup, edited my post to assume warmth and air might not go together as you must've been typing... Seems to make sense logically (i'm still a learner!). Got a day off tomorrow for once, so, there's no time like the the present!! Time to tinker. I'd already inserted these when i saw your post...

    Ahh cool, many thanks. I'll have a look what's around. Admittedly although I own them I haven't really tried/let them burn in (yes, i am amassing a collection that's getting too big to roll effectively. Let alone wait for each set/tube to burn in [if you're a believer in tube burn]!!), but what...

    Thanks dude. Put the wrong link BTW. It should have been these GEC L63, but I'll assume your statement still stands... Cheers

    Have you any experience with these GEC L63 10E/348? If so, are they warmer than the STC I have just bought - should I have gone with those instead... hmm!?

    Perfect, cheers for the info. And for tempting me!

    Morning all. Bit of advice needed if poss... Which of the following 2 sets would be the warmest sounding - or are they going to be very similar? 1st pic is STC 6J5G, 2nd is Brimar 6J5G I ask as I'm after warmer sounding tubes at the mo. I have actually purchased the STC ones but might be able...

    Assuming the dual tube adapter isn't already one... It looks as though you need a good looking adapter from @Deyan! Prices, including shipping, are most reasonable. I'll upload a pic in a mo of mine. 2 in aluminium to match the Lyr+ chassis and another dual adapter (dual 6J5 to 6SN7). No doubt...

    Got a small query perhaps someone could answer for me... Actually it's a couple. Are the Ken Rad VT-94 metal the same or close sounding as the glass top, metal base VT-94D? I'd like to grab a pair of the glass, metal base ones for aesthetics over the metal tube ones, but if they are inferior...

    The Reference 6SN7 Thread

    Hmm, I've seen these before and kinda dismissed them. Are they really that good? Have you experience with many other 6SN7 to compare to? Seems I've become a bit of a tube addict and these Apos tubes, the select and reserve, have got me clucking for a fix! I've amassed a pretty decent...
