Those are the ones I use also

True, but even the Tele E188cc is inferior to the 12a*7 variants. There's nothing in the 6922 variants that I would chose over the best 12a*7 tubes.

None, if you get a telefunken 6dj8.

It seems like people are putting the tubes before the amps...

Had 2 pair of the Telefunken ECC88, found them rather mediocre. The E88CC pair was better, still got the E188CC, but they go for too much nowadays. Have not heard the Tele 12A*7 variants yet though.

Different tubes sound better/worse in different amps. It's about synergy.

Buying amps to suit tubes rather than the other way around feels like putting the cart in front of the horse.

IMO, of course.

Good advice. I made this mistake witht the Lyr 3 and have a bunch of tubes, i will probably never use again.

Got a pair of these. Little better looking imo and made of ceramic. But they magnify microphonic tubes to be even worse.

Oh man! The freaking bass with texture you can feel!!! This LP rocks with the Amperex 7308 PQ and ZMF Ori, with clean clear, and extra liquid mids with great extension in the highs, with no sibilance and a Wide stage. . .

I have discovered an amazing pairing, between the ZMF Blackwood and the LP. I have been using the Blackwood with my Lyr 3 and Jotunheim, and they sounded really good, but they have scaled to another level with the LP. I am using my modi multibit as the dac, and the Amperex 7308.

Thanks! Make that 8 left....

Thanks, sent them a message. They should keep a small number aside for return purposes. Not sell every freaking pair they got and have people waiting months for a replacement. If those Chinese socket savers weren't junk, I'd take my business elsewhere.

If you send a PM to @cv4109 , who frequents this site occasionally, he will let you know, if they have some stock in reserve, or when they should their next round of supplies. It's how I got my own pair

Opps! I guess that renders my previous post a little redundant for now.

Nah you were just trying to help, no harm in that.

Interesting, with the vibration reduction. Not much of a fan of adding anything, not needed to the chain, but those are tempting. I would have loved those for my Valhalla 2, as that thing could get noisy.

Thanks! ...got a pair for me too... down to 6 in stock!
