Quote: Here's my LCD2 cable experience. Late fall 2012, I purchased a set of used R1's  The seller was kind enough to include a 2M Steve Eddy Q-cable with the stock cable despite the fact he owned LCD3's.  The stock cable was longer but very bulky.  It's the round one.  Since the 2M...

Quote: Yo ! U-Da-Man !!

I like the look too.    

Quote: I have limited experience with multiple cans.  I started with HD-650's and went to LCD2's.  There was nothing "wrong" with the HD-650's, I just new the LCD2's would that me to another place.    If that helps.

Quote: Oh no. It's cool. I will get 100% back including the cost to ship them back.   I just though,  I have these here.. a) are they any good? b) what are they worth?  Should I offer them "$ xx.xx" and get a partial refund? They are Mullard E188CC's   So, are 1980's cr*p ?

Quote: For the margin Tubemonger has in those, he will send you a replacement.

Opinion needed.   I purchased these RTC's E188CC's from Langrex on eBay thinking they were 1960's Mullards. As Listed. http://www.ebay.com/itm/310353960765?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649   Thanks to H_K Sends and Tubemonger, it turns out they are 1980  Mullard...

Quote: Side: As I was typing that post I thought..... how can I wordsmith this so it does not go into the gutter..... the list of adjectives and nouns could not be arranged to avoid it !

Quote: Automatically adjusts output power....  not applicable to IEM's My memory isn's too good, but I think I emailed Jason about IEM's for my Lyr and he said No Way. I suggest emailing him at info@schiit.com  Most of the time he answers in 30 minutes.... or less   My understanding...

Quote: IMO, of course....and  I am biased.  very biased.   Lyr = worth every penny Lyr with stock tubes.  Delightful.  The sound-staging of that beast is incredible. However Lyr allows you to further customize your listening via vintage valves. So you have the hobby within the...

Quote: Thanks. I really try not to P people off. Quote: Mine are strange.  They don't come out.  I tried a moment ago and it feel like they'll take a lot of effort to get them out.  I'm just fine with that.  Perhaps they're glued in place. 

After reading your post, I must apologize. I don't doubt that you have gunk on the tube extenders, I was scratching my head wondering why. I intended my comments to be more rhetorical and I didn't do a good job of expressing myself. Since I've never removed my extenders since I put them in, I...

Quote: It's the Lyr quota.

On one hand it's great to see all the new folks on the thread...   On the other hand it means the price for vintage valves will escalate.   So..... save yourself the hassle and money and go buy some new SS gear and move along.... That's Right !  Move along... there's nothing for you...

Tube extender goo.   Thermocoupler around a valve for 30 minutes. 131.0 deg F. minus 98.6  delta 32.4 deg F. So the opposite of picking up an ice cube. I just can't see the glue melting.  The product is very well made. Note:  The valve in this test was extended outside the...

Quote: Follow Frank's advice and don't get a Lyr...   One less person on the market buying vintage valves 

Quote: Give them 104 hours. A whole other level.

Quote: Interesting.   Thanks.

Quote: Hello and welcome.   I've had the inexpensive $10 each extenders http://audiotubes.com/books.htm   Now I have Tubemongers (non-flipping) extenders.  It's a much better product.  The contacts are better and, my extenders at least, stay in the Lyr when I'm changing tubes.  ...

Quote: I'm on the fence. I'll give them until Friday.
