Thanks for that. I will investigate.

Well?

My headphone system comprises a Sony PS-6750 Direct Drive turntable with an Ortofon 2M blue moving magnet cartridge via a Schitt Mani phono stage into a Lyr headphones amp. A bit of a pain in the butt when i want to listen to CD. I was thinking about some kind of Y connector so i can connect...

Has anyone tried their Schiit Lyr as a pre amp and if so how good was it? Thinking of trying it with my Proton power amplifier for Schiits and giggles. Like to hear about your thoughts chaps.

I didn't know there is different types of Mullard for the Lyr. They are a pair of vintage valves sent with the amp.dull as dish water.

Let me type that again as my predictive text is getting the better of me. Mullard Sovtek and Genelec Gold Dragons. And the ones that worked best is the JJ's that came as stock.

Mullard that is.

I already have. Mallard, So take and Genelec Gold Dragons.

My view is that there is nothing wrong with the JJ valves supplied. Just saying.

Thinking of buying a used Lyr on another forum. It's a mk1. How does it stack up against the competition?

Just wondered if anyone could offer a little advice? Would my Grado SR225 headphones work well with a Mk1 Schiit Lyr headphone amp? The impedance of the Grado's is 32 Ohm. I know the new verion of the Lyr has a gain swich though i think that the Mk 1 should have sufficient gain.    Cheers guys.
