…if still confused, it’s time to throw in the towel …

But please don't pull the wool over your eyes.

So I just received a couple new tubes. Nothing high end but just a couple new ones to try out. What is the best way to "burn in" the tubes? Just let them burn while I listen? Or keep the Lyr 3 on for a couple days?

I never do that. So tubes sound better after 15 minutes, some boot right up.

Oh, so you've moved on from your previous recommendation of placing head ... in the toilet.

…wholesome, immature, adolescent activity…

how is the multibit dac in the lyr 3 compared to something like a mojo/Hugo/hugo2 or any of the IFi dac/amps? Do you feel that that the multibit dac limits the Lyr 3 performance or is it a solid dac overall?

…wouldn’t wool towels be as itchy as hell…?

You're right. I feel so sheepish for suggesting it.

Ewe certainly should.

 

[LoryWiv]

Ewe certainly should.

Any more of this and I'll take it on the lamb. Time to hoof it on out of here.

Lyr 3 can distinguish between BiFrost 2 and Yggy pretty easily. So will you benefit from using multibit? Yes, if you enjoy multibit. I prefer the BiFrost 2 with Jot 2 and Yggy with Lyr 3. But, Yggy's going with the speaker system, not the headphones. I feel like Yggy does the best with putting a musician in the room. BF is more of a rocker.

You guys are hilarious!

• I am astonished by the soundstage improvements (delineation, depth, width…) the KenRad 6J5 pair brings versus the single KenRad VT-231. These attributes are so readily picked up by the Auteur.
• The fabled KenRad bass extends deeper (!) without a hint of bloat with the 6J5s. At the other end of the sound spectrum, harmonics from brass & strings are there! but not disassociated from the underlying notes .
• The Lyr 3 is ‘pummeling far above its weight class’ and I look forward to using other 6J5 / 6C5 / L63…(GEC, Sylvania…)
• Kudos, again, to @Deyan for the outstanding craftsmanship shown in the adapter.
