@MattTCG said thr Valhalla 2 is more suited to HD800 than the Lyr 2 IIRC.

Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate
 
Any recommendation guys?

I have a HE560 with my Lyr2, sounds great. I have a HD800 coming in soon so I will be able to dive more into it in about a week. I know the HE560/HD800 isn't a HE6 but its a tight circle around it.

I got to wondering, since I've never heard anyone say "Lyr" at a meet or show I've attended, how is it pronounced? "Liar"? "Leer"? "Lur", or "Lrrr", as in of the Planet Omicron 8 from Futurama?

Which one is correct?

  My Schiit Lyr2 arrived today, customs in my country are EVIL. I paid about 500 dollars for the customs alone, and not including the taxes\delivery...
 
haven't had the time to listen to it properly yet. but I tried it with my Hifiman HE4 and Beyer T1 with good condition- Siemens Pcc189 tubes, There's a horrible hum when turning the volume knob to listenable levels(11-12 oclock) like the kind of hum you get when you try to max the volume all the way... I switched to the stock tubes and the hum decreased.. but still itis way too much hum in 11-12 oclock with those headphones(the gain switch is set to high, low gain just can't power those headphones well) it overshadows the whole music and I can't enjoy it that way.. there is no background noise\hum when the music is off though.
 
When I have more time this week I will investigate it further and see if I can fix it easily.. I don't want to send it back to Schiit because it will cost me a lot..

Hi to all,Someone uses extenders to tubes with Lyr 2 and where can I order them?


Go to the Lyr Tuberollers Thread, a lot of Folks there use tube extenders.

You can find it on ebay, simple socket savers that work well (is that I had). Like here.
 
Edit :These are convenient to lift the tubes and also to be able to rolling them easily, but they remain attached to the socket saver when pulled. Otherwise, the best are on tubemonger.com but they are expensive.

Thanks! In your opinion is a good investment?

Absolutely (for the cheaper ones). This makes the tube rolling much easier, and I think aesthetically it's a plus, the tubes are more visible. Cheers !
