BUMP!

BUMP!

After comparing the Psvane 6SN7-SE Tennis Ball to the Linlai E-6SN7 Globe-Balloon, I’ve decided to stick with the Psvane solely due to the brighter tuning of my headphones. The Psvane is a warmer sounding, mid range and low end emphasized tube. The Linlai is definitely more impressive for the...

Up for sale is a beautiful sounding Linlai E-6SN7 tube with about 50 hours on it. I am the original owner (bought from via tubes) and used it with a Schiit Lyr. I decided to go with a different tube as my headphones are quite bright. This tube will bring out a lot of detail and space and I think...

Upgraded to the WiiM Pro, so I’m letting go of my mini. I don’t have the box anymore but it will come with the power cord/brick and the optical cable. Asking $50 + shipping (should be cheap because it’s light) + paypal fees (or friends and family with no fee).

I’ve been running the HEK V2 with a hybrid tube amp, the Schiit Lyr+, with great results.

I just discovered something about the Lyr+ that I’m not too thrilled about. Granted, this scenario might be pretty unique to my setup. I have a turntable hooked up to an ifi zen phono stage which sends a signal out via RCA to my Lokius then to my Lyr+. The ifi lets you also run balanced xlr outs...

Enjoying a relaxing Sunday night with the Lyr+ playing a 1975 German pressing of Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here.

Odd. Maybe there’s not much consistency in their manufacturing. There appear to be a few reviews on Amazon mentioning the fit was too tight.

This is what I got on Amazon: https://a.co/d/aE54m4Z I placed an order for the ones @classfolkphile recommended. Hopefully they’re a bit easier to use.

Yes, here you go: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1265061045/ For some reason the rear one is slightly misaligned so I can’t screw it onto the Bifrost. I’m in touch with the seller, though, and he has been responsive in helping to resolve the issue.

The Lyr+ is here! Starting out with the Linlai E-6SN7. Only a few hours on it, but so far I love it. Did some A/Bing to my Asgard 3. Conclusion so far is that the Asgard is no slouch, but the Lyr+ is better in a few ways, including a wider soundstage, softer treble (which is good for my Hifiman...

Two new additions in the analog domain have really brought out the soundstaging in my V2s: a Technics SL1200G and a Schiit Lokius. All I can say is wow! Was listening to John Martyn’s Solid Air and I felt that some sounds were coming from way outside the headphones. Almost like a speaker...

Yes—I have to stack it with my Bifrost and newly acquired Lokius, but I bought a divider I found on Etsy which lifts each off the other a bit. Hopefully that will help it stay cooler. These just came in the mail; now all I have to do is wait for the Lyr+ to arrive!

To be clear though, there are V2s with the 3.5mm termination.
