True. Bogus concept. Reality is that one is always just one tube short of too many.

Too Many = n + 1

Too Many = n + 1

Love it!

Simplified and taken to first principles.

Too few = n

The system can never reach equilibrium...

Hey folks, rather than going back through 185 pages, what's the best 'extension' adapter to get the tube base out of the Lyr3 body?

Be sure to check it over with a multimeter for shorts, never had a problem with those but can never be too careful

Westinghouse GTB D gettters, including a short bottle:

A rarity? Westinghouse 6SN7GTA but with side D getter, has the 337 code on the tube indicating Westinghouse manufacture, but could be a shameless re-lable:

A strange day of rolling for me... I tested a CBS/Hytron 5692 (to set a base for what I consider to be a good tube), 2 Sylvania 6SN7GTAs (chrome dome and black base), 2 Westinghouse 6SN7GTA (Offset black plates, D-getter, tall bottle, NOS), and a Sylvania 6SN7GT (JAN-CHS).

I said the day was strange because they all sounded quite good with only subtle differences (highs and/or bass). Do you guys ever have a day where you just can't tell them apart very well?

And another question: the Chinese eBay seller from whom I bought a 6N1P-to-6SN7 adapter says he sent it, but I never got the adapter, so can anyone recommend a better place to get such an adapter? I want to test my new Nevz tubes!

Yeah, some days my ears just weren't in it for tube comparisons. That's usually when I just stopped testing and just listened to the music. Try again another day.

The more time I spend tube rolling the more the sounds keep running together. Sometimes I get a better sense of what I'm hearing with long term sessions (day(s) instead of quick A/B's.
Now if I had a second LYR-3 with both running simultaneously......maybe.
