Phew... That's a relief10 backups is the minimum level that signals you need to get some more. I'm safe for a while.

Looks kinda wimpy, like the Lyr is eating it.
An Amperex 7316 warming up. Interested to see if it's a contender in the Lyr 3.

The 12AU7 is one heck of a popular tube, at the moment! It seems that every tube rolling thread, no matter the amp, has gone to the 12au7? I think I should start stocking up on some Mullard Square getter long plates 12au7, before they are gone. . .Feeling a wee bit inadequate there Bill?
OK -- seriously, i have to get a 12au7 to 6sn7 adapter so I can try 12au7's for VH2 on Lyr 3. And while I'm at it, I should pickup some 6sn7 to 6922 adapters to try my plethora of 6sn7s in VH2.

I wont be trying them in Lyr, as I am happy with my 6sn7, but I do plan on building a bottlehead crack, that was actually made with the 12au7, and the reason to maybe stock up now.Specs are pretty close to 6SN7 too, only cathode resistor is the only spec that sorta wildly different.
The above mentioned Mullard long plates are amazing in the Crack. It's what I use. Got mine from Brent JesseI wont be trying them in Lyr, as I am happy with my 6sn7, but I do plan on building a bottlehead crack, that was actually made with the 12au7, and the reason to maybe stock up now.

Seems that the psvane UK isn't really a good match for HD800, treble is sometimes too much, and it makes the headphones feel closed-in compared to the melz, taking away the large soundstage their known for, my previous amp a torpedo+e90cc tubes did a much better job there but it had less clarity, bass.
The MELZ though feels much more open in the soundstage but bass/dynamics, and treble suffers a little compared to the psvane.
Which brimar model are you talking about, the black glass one or?Brimar might be better match for HD800, overall a warmer tube, wider too but the treble is more refined compared to MELZ.
MELZ 1578 does seem a tad warm to me in Lyr 3 but Brimar definitely warmer.
