Agreed!

Hmm does anyone know if.there are any tubes that beat the already good.psvane 6sn7-se/uk?

What sonic traits from the Psvane do you enjoy? Any sonic traits you find unnoteworthy or lacking from the Psvane? Also, what music genres to you tend to favor? Lastly, do you have a price cap for a tube purchase? Answers to these questions may help narrow suggestions that best fit your preferences, though ultimately what's 'best' is a matter of subjectivity and personal tastes.

I'd be interested to hear more about the Psvane 6SN7-SE/UK. Save for being easy on they eyes I don't know much about this tubes impact on the Lyr 3's sound.

I do enjoy the added bass impacts/ that the psvane adds the sound feels very alive, and energetic , but as i mainly listen to classical/epic type of music, i want a tube with enormous holographic soundstage while still being good enough in other areas, price cap probably be around 70-110$ per tube.

Thanks for the info on the Psvane! I'll give this some thought and if I have any suggestions I'll post them. Ultimately those who have heard the Psvane in the Lyr 3 will be better equipped to make recommendations.

I listen to lots of modern jazz, also classical, world. The Psvane tubes have great bass -- full-bodied, controlled -- and smooth, dense mids and highs. Instrument separation is very good, but soundstage does not sound huge, maybe because these tubes are not as euphonic as the NOS tubes I've tried (Ken-Rad VT-231, Sylvania 2-hole "Bad Boy"). For my taste and music choices, the Psvane tubes (-UK and even more the -SE) win.

I have the the UK, the TII, and SE, they are all excellent with LYR3 and Abyss Phi, and I do like the SE best. Psvanes seem to combine "some" of the best sonic qualities of tube sound with clarity and extension of SS sound. Of course if you want that old-time tube euphony then your going to have to dive in to the complex world of NOS tubes, many of which are very good indeed but there is a steep experience and knowledge and preference curve to go through (along with your wallet).

Wow. You should right a book and call it "The Kamasutra of Tube Rolling". It could be the next "Tube Lore"!!

Guys, the time has come to say goodbye for now. I've decided to pursue pure transparency and resolution and have decided to go with solid state again. Now, I want to say that NO tube emulator or software can do what the lyr3 does with the right tube. Different, yes. Better? well that's highly subjective.

The Lyr3 is one of those pieces that I really struggled to list for sale. Like the HD600, mojo, or DFR - the Lyr3 is a classic milestone piece for price/performance ratio. While my time with the lyr was awesome, the sale funds will be reinvested into my journey as I strive for next level sonics into the original recording.

The time may come where I part out the tubes for individual sale, but as of now it's a package deal. You guys have been a blast, and I'll hang on to the thread for a bit longer! Until bill or ripper revoke my club membership at least.

Looking for solid-state transparency and resolution? You could do worse than this end-of-line sale. Great amp for magnetic planars from MrSpeakers.
