I did not like the Lyr paired with hd800, t1, or really any headphone other than thunderpants and lcd2.
Ditto. If you don't mind having multiple amps, the Lyr's worthwhile for its synergy with the LCD-2's, but it brings out absolutely nothing special about the HD800's. As a person who owns all 4 items, I felt like I was in Bizzarro World when I read that 6moons article wherein he said that the Lyr had better synergy with the HD800's than the LCD-2's and that the Burson was better amp for the later. That said, I don't personally know what a good amp would be for both the LCD-2's and the HD800's. Oddly enough, I like my Lehmann BCL with both the HD800's and the LCD-
3's, though, but would cautiously turn the Lyr back on if I felt like using the 2's.
The Lyr upgrade tubes I ordered are in mail limbo somewhere,
so I've only heard it with the stock configuration.
