Currently at a good price, I'd see how they fare in the auction, if you can grab them for less, then great. Otherwise, I have a few pairs for sale. NOS, in original boxes.

While the windmill getters seem to get a better opinion on the forums, I personally prefer the square getter version. I know of a few other people that feel the same way about them. But either way, I have both, so whichever you prefer.

Ok so the CBS 5670 are detail monsters. I thought at first they were muffled sounding, but they're just so smooth with my LCD2c it took a minute to appreciate the details they provide. Thanks again TK for the heads up on trying them out.

So I popped in the Tubg-sol 2c51s I bought for a quick listen, unfortunately there is quite a bit of tube noise on the right channel tube on first listening It was really noticeable on a quiet background. Then all of a sudden it stopped and now they are dead quiet. I'm really enjoying these too. The mids and bass are they were described, both are fantastic.

Next step will be to start the burn in process on the Foton's I got from Auditory Canvas.

Thanks again everyone for keeping this thread relevant for us late to the Lyr tube rolling game!

Decided on only keeping LM Ericsson steel and gold pin for detailed 2C51 tube, Tried out the Ericsson`s with 4 different cans. HD700 and HE560 had amazing detail, LCD2-C has very good detail, using them right now, the AFO had good detail. The CBS 5670 has about the same detail as the LME`s. I tend to like the warmer 2C51 variants better so all the other tubes except the LME`s are going to new homes.

Well I might have to try them out, I might try to see If I could trade Autostart some WA22 rectifier tubes for a pair. Do you find much difference between the steel and gold pins? I agree I like a little more warmth than the CBS provide, but they're aren't as bad as expected.

Too early to tell for sure less that 30 hours in the burn in process.

So after listening more over the weekend I think my favorite pairing with the LCD2c so far is either the CBS 5670 or the Amperex 6DJ8 Bugle Boy o getter. After trying the orange globes are just a bit too lush in their sound for me. They're great when listening to classic rock and other less fast paced music, but they seem to lose a little coherency when there is a lot going on.

I love being able to keep track of the bass line easily when listening to the Bugle Boy. It seems to pair really well with anything with a lot of dynamics.

 

[TK16]

Sounds like you would love the Western Electric 396A tubes. Have you tried the GE 5670's yet?

 

[bb rodriquez]

I haven't had a chance yet. I think that will be next up after I let the Bugle boys cool down a bit.

I know that Siemens, Telefunken, and Amperex made tubes for other companies. Any of you guys seen an RCA labeled Telefunken E88CC or E188CC?

 

[TK16]

Generally see RCA labelled Siemens. Not sure if I seen any RCA labelled Telefunken's.
