For those playing along at home.
"E" is Heater voltage 6.3V
I totally missed the thread.

Yes, they use only one triode per tube.
So the question is not how many triodes the tube has, but how many triodes in the tube are used by the Lyr?
Got it.
If that were the case, they'd be wasting the equivalent of a double-triode tube.
Yes. That's why the Triode Flippers can possibly extend the life of the tubes for the Lyr...if one triode starts sounding bad, flipping to the other triode may let you squeeze more life from the tube. Wasteful? Probably, but I am sure Jason and Co. considered the cost vs. the benefits. In electronic (especially analog) design, there's some element of waste. Two tubes keeps the signal paths separate...
Cheers!

I beliieve the Lyr only uses 1 triode from each tube, meaning the first of your examples is more important..... unless you have a "triode flipper" socket to plug your tube(s) in through. I'm sure someone will correct me if this is not right.

Sorry, nope. It uses both triodes in each tube.
Whoa, really? Was I wrong! I'm sorry everybody...
So Jason, can you expound a little? How is it that some amps can run two channels through a single tube?
Sorry again folks...

PS - So I guess the Triode Flippers are moot for the Lyr...
