I'm having the same issue so if anyone figured it out please let us know

this is exactly the purpose of the Buy/Sell/Trade forum    Id suggest you split them up according to category and make a sale page    Headphones   Amps

So as I've been going through the threads I've noticed a pattern (at a snails pace I might add). people with traditionally bright headphones(t1, Hd800)  seem to recommend the warmer tubes (herleens, blackburn, Amperex)   whereas people with darker headphones(650's, LCD-(#)) seem to...

Thanks man, I appreciate the response.

I see you're carrying the gold pin version of the tubes on your ebay page, any difference from the regular swgp?

Nice, I'm excited to hear it. Honest question, is the mini amp worth it when hooked up(Lyr as preamp), I'm debating jumping on that purchase if I find one under 160.

They are hard to find so it really depends on the seller. Lekoross had a pair but it was just sold (to me =D). Hopefully they are the OG's on steroids

That was my goal this summer but unfortunately thugs kept getting in the way. For now there's websites out there with what you're looking for. Starting out I would stick to learning about the different tubes. When I get home tomorrow I'll link you some stuff I have bookmarked.

Hey guys I'm itching for a richer sound profile (thinking ccA herleens if I can find a pair ) so I'm putting up my reflektorHG 75's swgp for sale this weekend. They have about 250 hours on them so if you're interested shoot me a message otherwise I'll post em up tomorrow.

Just as a counterpoint, I had the H10 which I used exclusively for about 100 hrs and didnt really find a "burn in" I mean sure I adjusted to the Solid State sound a bit more but it wasnt as dramatic as I was led to believe. In the end I preferred the tube sound the lyr provided.

I'm back! I've been missing that sweet sweet HG sound!   In the latest news don't sell your equipment to people with no reviews...  after about a month of dealing with a guy who wanted to return my LCD's due to some scratches we finally came to an agreement. picked up a modi uber and a...

I've read to gently rock them back and forth with the stock tubes inserted but I'd wait to see if anyone gives you a better idea.

Sign me up as another who's looking for this unicorn

hey is anyone using the lyr as a pre-amp?  I'm running my LSR 305's out of them and I'm starting to think it affects the sound in a positive manner! more testing will need to be done!

I have found no discernible change in sound quality using socket savers. with that said i did buy some tubemonger ones which are sturdy and well built so I imagine it might depend on the quality fo your tube savers.

Appreciate it.

So some life events are pushing me to sell my gear for now, If you're interested in picking up some great tubes shoot me a message.   Rb2013's Reflektor 75 HG's  Telefunken Cca's Made in the US Amperex 7308 (these i bought used) Mullard 6922's   These are some of the Best tubes around so...

From my brief experiences there weren't many Russian tubes that held up to the 74' and 75' SWGP's Glad you're enjoying the 74's.     Preliminary findings on the Telefunken Cca's are that the bass is back!   Not as "airy" (read treble oriented) as the Russian HG's the mids are nice and...

1 hour in on new Telefunken Cca's, 1st impressions = wow.   more detailed impressions coming in a couple of days. 

I would skip the vokshods if you arent looking for airy clarity, I haven't found them to be warm at all, you're looking for the holland amperex line those tubes emphasize warm sound. look for Orange Globes (67' or 69') in that price range.   (to be honest though pick up some 75' Vokshod grey...

        here are the pics from the seller (on the ground nonetheless...)

any chance you could describe what you mean by "relaxes" I'm having an issue with my Amperexes In that they're way to "strong" the sound is too forward and at times unpleasant (i really dislike harsh treble).   If anyone has a pair of PQ amperex 7308 or 6922 and would like/wouldn't mind to...

I got them for 300, which while pricey is well south of what I've seen them go for. I figure if the pair doesn't blow me away I can sell it as its pretty much NOS.

no worries man it happens, throw some tubes on and enjoy the evening, I'm finding the amperex 7308 to be a bit too forward at times... didnt think it would be possible with the LCD 2, gonna give it some time but I don't think this pair is for me.    luckily i snagged some telefunken CCa's and...

I wasn't calling you out i just wanted to clarify the statement for the people who would jump in and just buy based off of RB's list.
