Schiit Lyr 3 Tube rolling thread.....

Nice man! Stavros, is the man! I have bought 6 tubes from him, and they are all perfect. I am currently using a NIB black glass Brimar, and it is staying in the Lyr 3, until it dies. With the my 6 Brimar tubes, I have noticed slight differences in the bass with a couple of them, and just chalked it up to burn in. Pretty cool, how that Marconi label, is facing forward!Marconi B65. Very nice sounding in Lyr 3. Nice bass punch, excellent/smooth mids, nice top-end w/o sounding brittle or etchy. Nice soundstage, although not as wide as Melz 1578. Definitely giving this guy some serious play time...
**Thanks, Stavros.

Ripper - What kind of getter, does that Marconi tube have?

Can't recall, really. I believe it is a bottom rectangle getter, but not 100% sure. I'll check when I get home this evening and confirm.

I posted in this thread a while back, haven't got the tubes anymore i sold them on, couldn't justify keeping them at the price
Post below...Also i'll just leave these here.....
Also pretty much done rolling now, my dad is getting old and pretty much retired so started taking him fishing again which is another expensive hobby, think i've dropped £500ish on fishing gear, permits and bait in the last few weeks
I've settled on the 6N1P family as cheap and widely available whilst sounding up there with some of the best tubes i've heard in Lyr 3.
Top tip: 6N1P's from the Anod factory sound best to my ears.
Look for this logo, looks like a hammer inside a circle type thing:
And of course don't forget the adaptor

Sounds interesting! I tried a casual search on eBay but didn’t see any of these among all other 6N1P tubes with “black anodes” and whatnot
Do you have a link to one or a tip on a more specific search than “6N1P anod”?

I bought mine from ebay seller Nixie Store, can't see any more advertised but might be worth shooting them a msg to see if they can source some more.

Bill - you'll continue rolling tubes long after we all roll in our graves...Who knows, they may still be going 20 years from now, even if I'm not.

I bet y'all will live way longer than the last NOS tube. Or at least I wish...Bill - you'll continue rolling tubes long after we all roll in our graves...
I have always wanted one of those clocks. Very cool way to show off some tubes!Speaking of nixie tubes, I bought a nixie clock kit about 20 years ago (but not from Nixie Store, FWIW). The guy selling the clocks also sold the tubes individually, and IIRC they were $5 each with a clock purchase. I bought a dozen as spares, figuring the supply might dry up and the clock would be worthless if one or more of the tubes died. Well, that clock has been in continuous operation for those 20 years (save for being boxed up for a few relocations) and every one of the original tubes still works perfectly. Who knows, they may still be going 20 years from now, even if I'm not.
