Schiit Lyr Tube Rollers
Jan 5, 2018 at 5:23 PM Post #15,752 of 23,494
My LCD2-c just came in. Think the WE 396A is the perfect tube for this can. Running all virgin equipment except for the MJ2 including cables and interconnects. Running all balanced. Burn in everything at the same is what I say.

Damn! I’ll definitely hit him up and see where he got those from.

Maybe the guy would take a $140 offer, it ain't Telefunken but is much cheaper. I rate these higher than the Telefunken E188CC. IMO of course. Both are excellent tubes.

It'd be good to know if those PQ's are 7L4's like Ivan's. Great tube if so. Not so sure about 7L5's. Phantaminum already has Holland PW's tho so might be nice to have a German tube like the Tele's for variety instead of another Holland. Granted the 7L4's that I have are a different breed of Holland cat...just sayin'.

Edit: Maybe Phantaminum's PW's are American. If that were the case the Holland PQ's (if 7L4's) would make more sense to me.

Bill you’re correct saying they’re the American made PWs. I’m buying two Holland made Amperex PWs but the American PW really had a beautiful sound. By the way @TK16, I purchased those Amperex PQs and they sound almost like the PWs tubes. They’re not as holographic and encompassing but it’s like 95% of the PWs. My Bugle Boys are around 85% of the PW and the Amperex USN 7308 sound good but I prefer the others.

Once I sell the tubes I don’t want I should only be left with:

Pairs:
-Seimens CCa
-Amperex PW
-JW WE 2c51s
-LM Ercisson 2c51
-GE Triple Mica 5*s
-Seimens E88CC
-Tungsram ECC88

I think with a pair of Teles E188CCs that should give me all I need for tubes. Bill want to sell me your Teles? :wink:

Edit: By the way. Thank you guys for all the help and suggestions along the way.

@Phantaminum ... sadly, Bill is not in need of kidneys, or you might have offered him yours. I tried to open up (as it were :imp:) that avenue for all y'all, but the Old Guy and his Radiola drive a hard bargain. That said, check out the price reduction!

That's half a kidney at the very least.

Bill, please tell gmahler that you suddenly realize the Tele E188CCs are the worst tubes you've ever owned, and then suggest Rangy's services at tube removal. And be sure not to let this PM go public!!!

That answer was 100% predictable, my set is not for sale as well. :beerchug:

@Phantaminum, how much were the Siemens CCa's?
