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...

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?

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?

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

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.

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...

my budget is about 100 bucks

IBM thinkpad T42 Need cheap DAC/AMP to drive Denon D1001K

I just got the Samsung BlackJack II, and I'm loving playing SNES and chatting on IRC at school.

I've got an SR 80 that came with the original leather headband. They're the only Grados I've ever tried, so I can't compare between leather and vinyl but I can imagine these are better.

It'd be cool to have some sick animu ones

Wowzers.

And what with the splitter cable?

Hey guys, I recently came into some money and also an SR 80. I have about 300 bux, but I'm saving about $100 dollars for interconnects and bowl pads. I'm looking for an entry level tube amp. My ears listen to artists such as the Shins, Our Lady Peace, Tom Petty, Led Zeppelin, assorted classical...

Pictures of the speaker rig?

It's nice to have a new wireless option, though.

I agree with zipdisk. I've been holding out on buying an amp for over a year now, because I've nowhere to listen to any. I wanna go to a meet sooo bad. ...Connecticut meet, anyone?
