All,
I have a Jot and a LYR2.
The thing I've noticed most is that both amps are quite similar in their sound signatures no matter what tubes I roll in the L2.
If someone was willing to trade straight out for my L2, what amp would have more of a tube sound versus a solid state SS? Doesn't have to be a Schiit amp either.
Also, I could sell the L2 and purchase another amp. What would be a better choice as I have a lot of easily driven HP's that I'd use the amp for and I'd like something with more of a "tubie" sound and a bit more warm/lush/mellow SS? I love my TH900's and both my amps are just to bright sounding for this HP. I'm not going to get rid of the 900's period )) as those are my go-to's. Please check my sig for the rest of my HP's in my collection. I don't want to spend much more money if any at all if and when I swap out either via trade or purchase.
Also, I do not want an amp that requires 4 tubes, but one that uses 2. 4 tubes starts to get expensive and I don't want to get mixed up in possible financial ruin buying 4 tubes each time I want to roll something else into the amp.
I'm just so inexperienced in tube amps thus the reason I'm reaching out to you guys.
Any and all feedback/suggestions would be so appreciated as I'm open to any and everything you have to say.
Edit: I predominately listen to progressive metal, progressive rock, Djent instrumental and Djent with vocals (think TessercT) with a smattering of progressive jazz.
Thanx guys
Greg
