Lystor - I wish I knew. Most people will only have one or the other at this point, because you pick which one at check out.

I have the NOS Russian tube on it's way. I can compare when it gets here.

 

[Wes S]

ProfFalkin - That is great news! I am looking forward, to your comparison.

I just ordered a Lyr 3 with LISST and Tung-Sol 6SN7 tubes. Should be here in a few days and then a few days to test. May have a slightly used Asgard 2 for sale soon

ProfFalkin - That is great news! I am looking forward, to your comparison.

It's probably going to take a week to get here. The shipping cost more than the tube!

It may have already been mentioned, but can you run 6922, 2C51 and 6N3 variants in the amp with adapter?

 

[Wes S]

koover - Yes, you can.

Can anyone list the compatible tube types with the stock lyr3? They only list 2 types on the website and I don’t wanna throw something in there that may wreck it

Hello,

Lyr 3 accommodates any 6SN7, 6N8S or 5692 tube.

Personally, I'm not going to stray from this list or use tubes that vary electrically by much. I have no idea what tolerances the amp has for variations.

Thankyou for the answer, I’m sure thaeres plenty to work with in those ranges.

 

[Wes S]

I am right there with you ProfFalkin. I am enjoying how easy it is to use the single tube and just pop it in and out, with no adapters. It is really easy to tube roll with the Lyr 3, compared to the Valhalla 2. The 6NS7's are so much easier to put into and take out of the socket, compared to the 6922's.

 

[koover]

koover - Yes, you can.

Awesome. Thank you for the response. Looks like this is in my near future!

 

[Wes S]

Awesome. Thank you for the response. Looks like this is in my near future!

Just to clarify - I read this from the Schiit website. I am not an expert.

Thats a good rule of thumb but I and many LYR and LYR2 owners and rollers use the 2C51 and 6N3 variants all the time with the proper adapter with no issues and awesome results.
I’m gonna give this amp a go. Anyone need any sets of 6922 tubes?

So anyone upgraded from the Vali 2 and mimby that tube rolled to this care to comment on how it compares?
