The First-Ever Modular Hybrid Headamp/Preamp
March 20, 2018, Valencia, CA. - Today, Schiit Audio announced the introduction of its third-generation Lyr headphone amp/preamp. Using Schiit’s new Coherence™ hybrid single-tube/solid state architecture, new Continuity™ constant-transconductance output stage, the same modular design as Jotunheim, Lyr 3 is a significant advance in technology, versatility, and convenience. Lyr 3 is available now at schiit.com, starting at $499. (Click Here To Read More)
Code:
Frequency Response: 20Hz-20Khz, -0.1db, 2Hz-700KHz, -3dB

Starting this off with a quick question to @Jason Stoddard...
Jason, which 6SN7 tubes are acceptable for use in the Lyr 3? I have some 6BX7 and 6BL7 tubes which sound very good, but I hesitate to use tubes not endorsed by the manufacturer in their products.
This looks like a very exciting product, and I look forward to receiving mine very soon!
