Lyr 3 - The new Coherence™ and Continuity™ hybrid amplifier from Schiit - Impression & discussion thread

[supersonic395]

Just a heads-up to anyone who is considering buying a new Lyr 3 from Schiit.

Now that the new Lyr+ has been announced (it will become available in the next couple months), the Lyr 3 has now been discontinued. There are only a few left (between 1-3 of each version, although more may or may not show up in the 'B-Stock and Closeout' section later on), so if you are still interested in buying a new Lyr 3 from Schiit (with the 5 year warranty), now is the time.

I'm very tempted to get one of the closeout Lyr 3 but I really want to read some impressions of the Lyr+

Will this become an all things Lyr thread or will there be a new thread for Lyr+? I’m a happy Lyr 3 owner but I’ll be curious to follow the Lyr+ discussion especially once it’s available. Thanks

Fellow Lyr 3 owner. It's an overall great little tube amp even if it's a hybrid. However I am likely going to sell just because I now have a BHC and Feliks Audio Echo Mk2. But I just checked out the Lyr+ post here. Looks pretty sweet. The photo seems to indicate a new Bifrost as well?

I also own a Lyr 3 and I am interested in both. Mine has a multibit DAC card, which might now be an orphan. (I will keep using it but discussion probably dries up.)

If you try Lyr3 with a pair of 6C5 or 6J5 tubes - metal or glass (GT) - via a @Deyan adapter (), you may become an even happier Lyr3 owner. Schiit happened to me !!

Excited to begin exploring Schiit gear. Not sure what took me so long. The Lyr3 + CBS Hytron 5692 sounds wonderful

Better late than never!

I'm back in the game after a few years after selling. Just got one back in the other day with multibit from closeouts.

Indeed! Have the 6J5 adapter arriving this week from Deyan. Looking forward to that as well (thanks to Jonathan).

Nice! But you’re not done yet! There’s the little matter of the SR Purple fuse….Then, get your Lyr one of these…

LOL - I actually noticed your knob change earlier - I had missed it at first -

I may have extra 6j5's packed away in boxes if you need some. I have specific types I like but I ended up with multiple sets.

I also have an adapter arriving from Deyan and I received 2 Raytheon 6J5WGT tubes yesterday from AZ Tubes

I have one of his adapters somewhere, and use 6sn7's in amps I designed but I did not always leave room for the adapters.
