Solid choice. I have them in a couple of amps to great effect.

Yes.  They are sounding very good.

I'm a new owner of a Liquid Fire and was hoping some owners are still monitoring this thread even though it's been a while since anyone posted.
Is there a trick to taking off the cover? I removed the six screws and tried sliding the top cover off but it's really tight!!! I managed to get it off enough to put some tube dampers on.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Mine takes a bit of a tug to slide off totally. Used to stick exactly where yours did when I'd replace tubes or put on dampers.

 

[rennwerkes]

Thanks! I feel better now.
But it was difficult pulling it to the point it is right now.
Crazy tight!

 

[Icenine2]

Yes it is. I was pretty nervous thinking I was going to break something

 

[rennwerkes]

Thanks for the additional info.
I thought the same when it made funky sounds as I slowly pulled on it!

 

[Icenine2]

I believe the dampers helped a bit. If not they look cool

 

[rennwerkes]

I dunno, not sure if I hear an audible difference but i figure can’t hurt and you’re right, looks cool! Lol!

What DAC are you using w/Fire? Looks like you are a Porsche or German car guy w/rennwerkes handle

 

[rennwerkes]

Currently using a Bel Canto DAC3 but also use a Hugo 2.
Just installed tube dampers and plan on changing tubes to Gold Lion's.
I can't see spending crazy money on Amperex or similar! LOL!
You're right, I've been fooling around with German cars for decades!
What's your set up?

 

[Icenine2]

I have a Wyred 4 Sound DAC 2v2SE and LCD-2 vs 2 non fazor. I have the Gold Lions and best price is this place. Alex Cavalli told me spending money on expensive tubes for this amp was unnecessary. I use Herbies Tube dampers but unsure any real result. Sounds great!

 

[rennwerkes]

Nice!
Thanks for the link for the tubes.
I figure the tube damper are cheap so at the worst no difference but at least I didn't spend $'s like some other add-ons cost with minimal effect.
Just picked up an Astell L100. LOL!
Need my toys!
