Or you could take what's behind door #3...

I was pretty much kidding. Yup. Just kidding. I'd never do that. Nope. Not even gonna think about it.

Lies and propaganda.

My Westinghouse D Getter should be here Thursday! Same day a Ken-Rad arrives. I’m trying not to be influenced by some of the comments on both. Should be interesting...

 

[Ripper2860]

Excellent choices. I'll tell you who the winner is -- You!!

These are both great tubes!! Just make sure you break them in a bit (16-24 hours) before doing any critical listening and making any judgement.

Monty Hall (and his doors) come to mind. Here's a 2014 article from New Scientist....

Just Arrived! D-GETTER HALO-GETTER

Just got my D-Getter as well along with a 1946 Ken-Rad. Post what you think of the Westinghouse... the Ken-Rad is surely gonna be hard to beat for me.

Nice! A tall bottle and short bottle. Curious to know if you here any difference.

Need burn-in time on both, always a PITA.

I've spent the last couple of days comparing my LYR3 with Ken-Rad to my Ragnarok both in SE with spl levels matched by meter. I am amazed at how close the LYR3/K-R matches the sound of my Rag.
The differences are extremely small.
The Rag gives slightly more range and control at the extreme top and bottom and sounds a little quicker on transient attack and decay giving an impression of very slightly better transparency,
The LYR3 is warmer, with a more rounded sound to the body of instruments and has a touch more air and maybe a better sound field presentation.
But again, "extremely small" differences, almost gave myself a hernia straining to detect them.
