Ok boys and girls! The Amp has arrived and I will pick it up from FedEx tomorrow. Any interest for pictures of the unboxing, internals, etc? I am taking your requests.... 😀

And for a totally unrelated topic :k701smile: Check out my own invention for VU meters mk i :joy:

Hi there folks- I am so glad to find this thread on head-fi! Been away for a while from the forums and was delighted to find all the valuable info on the Mk2 right here. Not sure if you all experienced the same issue as I did? I couldn't find a lot of information and reviews on the mk2 with...

Greeting all, I just wanted to drop a line to all of you watching this thread and see what are your latest experiences with tables and Amps? It's been a while since I was on head-fi but I am looking forward to catching up with all of you folks and see your adventures with HiFi music and...

Greetings fellow Lyr & Lyr 2 lovers - It's been a while since I have been on the forum and figured to send a post and check on all my buddies out there! Hope you still tube rolling even in this madness of Covid-19. Also, I was a bit miffed with the Lyr3 not supporting all the tubes we bought...

Congratulations on your new acquisition .....  It looks like you have a great line up of components.  It's closing in on 2 years for me with my TT and records and I do not regret getting into Vinyl one bit.  Granted its more work and requires physical handling of the medium; but there is a clear...

I bought Sennheiser On-ear momentum from eBay on sale for use in the office for under $70 (quite a steal).  I was blown away by the sound, absolutely awesome for such a low price.  A few months later I found another pair of Sennheisers, Momentums on sale for under $140 and I couldn't resist...

Sorry my bad @Eee Pee! I confused the Nomad and Traveler with respect to the phono stage.  The Nomad has it built-in and whole kabootle for about $1k.   Your setup looks awesome - I have the Schiit Lyr2 and Audeze LCD3s and the sound is superb  

Hey boys, great to see the thread alive and kicking.     A new comer to TTs asked questions on one of my threads that got me back to the forums to help out a bit; couldn't help sneak a peak at this fine thread here.  Love seeing the legacy alive and kicking and the bug biting so many new...

Good option @KG Jag. I had considered the Traveler while doing my initial shopping but felt the integrated phono-amp to be a snoozer.  At the time I was doing my shopping, they retailed for under $1,000 which doesn't seem to be the case anymore.   I think your second suggestion is bang...

No worries, more than happy to help.   I believe that table sturdiness has a lot to do with quality of sound.  The heavier the table the less vibrations and skipping you are likely to experience.  The tone arm and components also factor into the cost of the table.   I am not a believer of...

    Ok Sir, here are the pics and details of the platter: Radius of 6"   Thickness of 6/16": Make sure the edges are chamfered so that no body cuts themselves by mistake while placing or removing vinyl from the platter.   But from experience, I suggest you buy the Acrylic...

Wow....You have selected an amazing set of components!  You will rock it out my friend.  Take a look at Golden Ear's Triton Ones.  Read the reviews to learn about what Sandy Grove has done with creating speakers that are with multiple folds to their price.   I love McIntosh products across the...

Welcome to Head-Fi @MEF5521!!    The final choice was a combination of things that went into the setup, see this post: post #20   My target was to keep the entire setup under $2,000 not just the turn table. My total investment ended up being ~$700 give or take.  I bought few additional...

+1 Thanks for your kind words @ThurstonX   It has been quite a while since I have been on the forum and I appreciate your comments above :)   I have been spending most of my Lyr listening time with either the '75 Reflektors or Siemens Cca Grays.   Happy rolling.

                Thanks guys for the help. I can expect a price range of $5k for this amp, correct?   Cheers

Thanks! 

Hello all, Not sure if there are still subscribers to the thread with good results for cleaning methods, but can I ask the veterans for a top 5 or 10 list for cleaning methods starting from. The cheapest alternative to more expensive ones? Sort of a guide for the top recommended methods with an...

General buying questions on those who bought the amp: Where is the best place to buy? And are they popping up as used anywhere? Thanks

Hey buddy, long time no see. Just got back into the thread. The Tele's are excellent and have great sound, definitely top of the list. How have you been doing with your lyr and tube rolling, anything exciting to report :)

A bit of a touchy subject for a lot of the lyr tube rolling thread veterans...

I forgot to mention that I will most probably start researching an upgrade at the 12-months mark. As I definitely love this medium.

Here is an update for all of you looking through the thread, after 6 months of setting up an entry level turntable as outlined in this post: http://www.head-fi.org/t/750575/selecting-your-first-turntable-setup-get-the-biggest-bang-for-your-buck-keep-it-under-2000/15#post_11320729 I can safely...

Welcome to the forum and the world of the Lyr2. The Bifrost Uber + Lyr2 are a killer combo for an amazing price. You will find that any well recorded music, even if it's not fully hi-Rez, will sound amazing on your rig. The trick is to enjoy the music and avoid the pitfall of nit picking on the...
