Thanks. I thought I read that previously. Searching is not my forte and searching the forum via phone app makes it a even more daunting task for me.

Fixing cereal is a daunting task for you, just to be clear.

It does take some effort to get my Cream of Wheat just the right level of creamy.

I was referring to the Count Chocula.

Pffft. Far too plebeian, I'm afraid. I'm more of a Cocoa Puffs kinda guy.

So you're coo coo for Cocoa Puffs?

No love for Boo Berry?

One thing that sucks in Canada is we get maybe 30 different cereals... I go across the border to a small town Cost Cutter Foods and they have 110 different cereals...

LISST does not glow, ergo I have no need for it. A large part of the charm of tubes is their welcoming glow. LISST is an artificial tube and more than anything it needs to G L O W. Those that decry this truth are soulless beings...

"It's not the Beatles but an incredible simulation." LISST needs light.

I will one day get a new Lyr+ but not with LISST in it. Without a tube, it already plays as SS sans any glowing. Think lightning bug without its taillight. Sans the light, it is just another flying bug.

They should shove a nice (fake) orange LED in LISST

And call it BOOBSST?

 

[tincanear]

IiRC Freya S, Jotunheim 2, Lokius have functioning orange LEDs as part of the internal voltage / current references

It does run pretty hot still but that’s not a problem, just an observation.

Hotter than the equivalent vacuum tube? (how's that phraseology go: sand vs glass?)

But... ALL electronics contain magic smoke...

Magic smoke is the best audio tweak.

 

[JLoud]

Just don’t let it out. Once you let the magic smoke out, you can’t put it back.

Well, the Lyr+ basically has a LISST in it. The non-tube mode uses depletion MOSFETs, which are the guts of the LISST. See Jason's post.

I suppose if just knowing it has a LISST will give you drooling panic attacks or trigger Tourette's episodes, you could always go in with pliers and a soldering iron and do a LISSTectomy. Might void the warranty, though.

This! “My Lyr+ sounded purer after I removed the MOSFETs! A veil was lifted!”
