In my opinion, the Gilmore Lite is the perfect solid state amp for people who love tube amp sound! Smooth, warm and musical.

Now you tell me. Would have been good to know BEFORE I purchased 50 tubes for Lyr 3.

Rotflmao! I’ll buy a few! So far I have an Electroharmonix, the Russian, Tung Sol & LISST from Schiit...

Didn’t stop me from buying a lot of tubes too...

You guys are making me rethink the Gilmore. It definitely has a heck of a pedigree.

Hi guys,

Listening to my new Lyr3 and enjoying it greatly

However, I noticed a problem when I picked it up to move it slightly.
When I held it and there was pressure from my hand applied on the underside in the middle of the amp, the left channel cut out.
It seems even a moderate pressure on the underside below or near the tube makes the left channel go silent.
This doesn't seem quite normal to me, or is it? Anyone else notice this?

I haven't moved it since I set it up, so I wouldn't know.

The Lyr 3 has components mounted on the top and bottom of the main board. I've never attempted to move mine while on and listening, so I cannot speak to whether that is normal or not. Perhaps an e-mail to Schiit support can provide an answer. Please do share it with us when you get it -- I'm curious as to what they say.

You're supposed to fondle the tubes, not the amp. We're all in shock.

Seriously, that's strange and certainly not normal. Are you sure you don't have (perhaps) a marginal connection on your headphone jack or cable that is losing contact when you handle the amp....just as a coincidence? Other than that, I'm with @Ripper2860 -- shoot an email to Schiit.

 

[tafens]

Believe me, I’m fondling the tubes more than the amp I’ve got three so far, including the stock NOS.

Headphone cable is ok, works fine in other amps. First I thought it was the headphone jack, but I can’t see that it could be as it drops out also when I put pressure nowhere near there.

I’ll email Schiit and see what they say.

Three? THREE? When you get to 300, let us know and @Ripper2860 will send you an invitation to the next WHORE meeting (Worldwide Hoarders Of Rare Electronics). He's the founding father.

ROFL
When I get there I'll let you now for sure..

A wee bit of an exaggeration by @bcowen. You can join at BRONZE LEVEL status after 25 unique tubes.

What gives!? You told me 100. You trying to keep me out?

 

[Ripper2860]

Unfortunately, @bcowen voted against our extending you a membership invitation. Something about previous posting of pictures of tubes along with obscene hand gestures for scale.

I think I qualify! Barely...
