Thanks to all of you. Since in the gift box I know for sure there are both the tubes available in the Schiit store, the NOS and the TUNG-SOL, with which one do you suggest me to start the amp to have a warmish sounding represantetion?

Ah and Happy Christmas from Italy!

IMHO The Tung-Sol, but that’s just my opinion. Try the below thread link. All the info you ever wanted to know (and more) about tubes for the Lyr 3. Just keep in mind it’s a dangerous place. Some of the more frequent posters are a little unhinged.

Try the NOS first, and then switch to the TUNG-SOL to experience better imaging, separation and detail. I did so, and after listening to the TUNG-SOL for a while I put the NOS on the shelf and haven’t looked back.

Merry Christmas to you too!

I prefer the term "touched".

Yeah, they are bit... Hey, wait. What?

Present company excepted of course. Or should it be “present company accepted”?

Oh well. English never was my strongest subject.

I would suggest going straight to a Glenn, DNA, or Eddy Current amp then. IMO, most everything that sits between the Valhalla 2 / BHC and those amps are rather poor to mediocre upgrades in value or sound.

Quoting for truth. Buy a Vali 2 or Valhalla 2 or something then save up to get an amp from one of the boutique manufacturers. Everything in between just serves to cost you more money in the long run. Same goes for DACs. Buy a Modi something and save for a Gumby/Yggy or Spring dac, etc.

Already have a Modi MB and a Valhalla 2 (and a Lyr 3) so I'll just sit pat and wait for a SE Gumby, Jr. While I save for a true OTL tube amp upgrade

Just a reminder, I’ve spoken to several guys here, but I’m liquidating my vast supply of 6SN7s, PM me if you want a copy of the revised list.

 

[Ripper2860]

Wait!! Where's the list???

Start with the NOS, oddly, I like the soundstage with it better than the Tung Sol, but the Tung Sol is more detailed, if that helps. In my opinion, anyhow...

Enjoy, e buon Natale!
