After I ordered the LP, I bought a Corpse Cable Gravedigger balanced headphone cable so I could try my LCD-X and LCD-2F using the LP's balanced output. The Corpse arrived last night. Right out of the box, it is so good with the LCD-X on the Jot's balanced output that I was almost second-guessing my decision to order the LP! Seriously, I will plan to post comments on LP vs. Jot, but it probably won't be until sometime next week at the earliest.

Balanced sounds so much better out of the Jot, led to me either having cables or adapters for all my headphones to use XLR. That is part of the reason the LP appeals to me so much over something like the Lyr 3, committed to XLR now. If the LP had a gain switch and balanced pre-outs it would be perfect for me from a connections/compatibility standpoint. Going to just have to live with that tradeoff if I enjoy the sound of this as much as I anticipate.

Balanced pre-outs indeed would have been nice.

I have the Beyerdynamic 1990s, seeing as these can only be single ended (outside of modding them), is it still worth it for me to get the LP?

What amp do you @cardeli22 currently use ?

Well, not necessarily the "best", but some people seem to like them here.

And these are the ones you want: https://www.thetubestore.com/genalex-gold-lion-e88cc-6922

Thank you very very much my friend !!!

Which tube is not at all the same as the ECC83 you first mentioned. BTW, heliosphann is correct.

Ok so I guess these tubes would also work :

?

And if yes, your opinion?
Thanks !

Any 6922 or E88CC tube should work. The listing may well be right but I can't give you an opinion on the Westinghouse tubes since haven't heard them.

I bought these:

BTW, as @heliosphann indicated, ECC83 is not a direct replacement for 6922. They have different specs (voltages).

Ok got it !!!!!!
So only 6922 or E88CC (whatever it stands for) will work with the LP ? That’s fun!!! We can experiment...as long as it says 6922 or E88CC.

There are lots of 6922 equivalents 6922, 7308, 6DJ8, 6N23P, E88CC, ECC88, E188CC.

You should go read this thread, or at least the original post: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/692...922-6n23p-e88cc-cca-7308-e188cc-tubes.761078/

The Schiit Lyr tube rolling thread is also a good resource, as @Guidostrunk mentioned the other day : https://www.head-fi.org/threads/schiit-lyr-tube-rollers.673709/

The best ones I've rolled, at least for my taste, are the '75 "Holy Grail" Reflektor 6n23Ps (my preferred tube on the Liquid Crimson and CTH) and some '62 Dario Miniwatts (essentially Philips Miniwatts, manufactured by Philips in Harleen, Holland - this was a year or two before the Miniwatt took on the Philips branding).
