Oh yeah? Well, my TS 2C51's are sooo good, I just tossed all my other tubes in the trash. Bye Bye E188CC Teles, Lorenz Stuttgart greys and PW Amperex Holland 6922's. I don't need ya now, as life is too dang short to listen to average tubes.

No, but you can cut the pins shorter so the adapters sit tightly together.

As soon as I find the Lorenz tubes, think maggots tighten up the bass a tad on tubes or so I read.

I snagged the Lorenz covered in eggs, but there was no way I was pulling those Teles out of that diaper.

Not without adapters. The Lyr2 and mj2 both use the more modern 9 pin miniatures. Ken-Rad was bought by GE in 1945, and while they continued making the larger tube types under Ken-Rad for quite a while, they didn't make any 9 pin miniatures under the Ken-Rad brand/factory.

The adapters are definitely worth getting though. The 6c8g really do put a lot of 6922/6dj8 type tubes to shame, usually at a fraction of the price.

Other than that, the 5670 variants with adapters, which cost less are also well worth trying, as again, some of them sound much nicer than a lot of the 6922/6dj8 costing much more.

So I received my 9-pin Socket Savers. Should I attempt to peel the label off or is it okay to put them in with the label on? The Lyr2 gets warm, not "hot", but I imagine it's warmer inside the amp itself.

You can leave the stickers on. They haven't peeled off for me after a few months of use and I don't think they will.

Super, thanks for the advice!

Here's another question. Am I being too fussy by trying not to touch the tubes themselves with my fingers due to natural skin oil? Does it matter? Certain light bulbs get hot enough where it does matter, but maybe tubes don't get that hot?
