Got a Lyr on the way from Schiit and some HD600s on the way from a member. Extremely excited to try the Lyr with my DT880s (250ohm) compared to my E17 (got an ODAC on the way too... lol) and see how the HD600s perform with the E17 vs the Lyr. I'm sure it will be no contest, but it will prove an interesting experiment! Not planning on getting any new tubes for a LONG time... I've spent over a grand on headphones and headphone equipment in the past 3 weeks.

You only live once, and you lose your hearing the older you get.   Enjoy it while you can.

Only if you don't take care of it.

Nah, I mean there are things you can do to slow the loss of hearing down at any age, but after a certain point nature pretty much assumes you don't need it as much to survive as you did when you were younger.   The loss of hearing quickly increases in comparison to your age after a certain point.

And how can you explain me that the hissing is gone? I had cleaned the pins and so on but nothing helps to eliminate the hissing. But after 20hours of burn in it was gone..
But actually no matter what happens. I now have a hissing free Lorenz 3mica and I'm happy with them and don't want to sell them.

To explain to you why the hissing went away is simple when tubes get  shipped around they are analog devices tubes get  moved around the getter get's shaken up.. After usually 6-30 hours of burn in time is typically goes away.
Now this is a known issue and is on this thread and has been posted many times. I would suggest in the future you do research...
 
 
Good luck and enjoy one of the best tubes for your Lyr.

SHHHHHH!!! My hearing will always be as good as it is now. La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...

So my GE's arrived today. I only just got the home and put them in my Lyr and I can already hear the difference. The bass is much more present (in a way I quite like). It feels much closer to my Heir Audio 4.A's now than it did before. I can see why they were the default tubes. I should have trusted them!
 
Still, now I have extras.

I was in your position a couple of months ago and read through this entire thread (took me a while, but I learned a lot...). If you can't face that approach, in my view, this post http://www.head-fi.org/t/549508/schiit-lyr-the-tube-rolling-thread/3240#post_8394257 was one of the best summaries and this link http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/faq/joes-tubes.html#6DJ8 one of the best pointers given.
 
Others may have a different view and I may well have missed or forgotten many equally useful thoughts...

Hey everyone, i'm wondering what the best tubes for the hd650s are. I've been looking through this thread, but there are just way to many tubes to make a decision. I would like to keep it under 50 if possible. If not, definitely under 100. Thanks in advance!

Now I am using Stock GE tubes, any suggestion will be big welcome. Looking to improve on sub-bass, a bit more extension will be awesome.
 
I am very much happy with imaging, speed and soundstage and with Lyr....HD-650 does not sound dark and mid-high range is perfectly placed for my liking.

My two personal favorites with the HD650s are the Miniwatt 6BQ7As (around $50) and of course the Lorenz Stuttgart PCC88 (more expensive).

Quick question:
 
I own mostly Audio Techinca headphones, should I get Woo Audio WA6 or Schitt Lyr considering I will not play around with tubes.
