Fortunately for me the deal expired on the first and nobody took me seriously!

Aw, man. Guess that's what I get for not reading the fine print.

Just as well...I have a Lyr 3 on the way, so maybe I should give away all my 9-pinners. And adapters. But wait...if I turn the adapter upside down, can I use it the other way?

Yes, I am thinking about replacing my Vali 2 with a Lyr 3. If I do that, I won't have any device that uses 6922/5670 tubes.......

Decent price on a pair of Bendix, 4 hours left on it, maybe the seller will accept an offer.

You can purchase an adapter and still use your current tubes with the Lyr 3.

Quite the different look. The Mimby looks like a little toy sitting on top.
The WE JW’s are sounding really good right now. Listening to some vintage Holy Wars by Megadeath and it’s making me sweat bullets and I want to run full out sprint by the end of that track.
Still waiting on this guy to get back to me on the Gumby. These sure don’t go up very often.

If anyone is interested in a few single 6922's please PM me. I have one too many tubes I'm looking to get rid of.
I also have this rare Philips Miniwatt PCC88 (7DJ8) D-getter pinched waist Holland early 50s
Code on tube: DJ2 delta 7G
Number on top of tube: 173

Hell yea for rocking some Megadeth! \m/

I'm finding smaller ensembles generally benefit most from tube sound. Full orchestras not so much other than with the Tung Sol 2C51 so far. We will see how the 396A burn in. Looking forward to them and the 5670 triple micas.

Orchestral music with tubes? Oh yeah. You just have to find the right tubes. TS 2C51 is a good start, but there are better for orchestral. That is if the recordings are good. : )
And those same tubes will also do wonders for small ensemble recordings. In fact, with great tubes, the challenge becomes finding great recordings.
With reference to what you have listed, want you want for orchestra is a tube that can also do the sub bass with accuracy while maintaining an extended, but sweet/airy top end.
And please, no bloom, boom, sheen, shimmer, lifts or dips, at any of the frequencies. Should be able to handle the full dynamic range w/o losing detail/texture/timbre or spacial cues.
Not easy, I know. But there are a few that are better than most. And... Depends on the amp/DAC of course.

I know Dan’s cables can be expensive but plan on grabbing a balanced cable for the AFOs. Makes them quite punchy. The PW Amperex and some of the Russians paired damn well with it. Hell, the GE 5* Triple Mica had me smiling for being such a cheap tube and still kicking other tubes butts.

Sure. But I have a bunch of really nice 6SN7 tubes in drawer that sound better than the 5670 family of tubes.

I ordered a Lyr 3 a couple of hours ago.....

Was going to pull the trigger from Impact audio and would you know it...he's taking a break to catch up on orders. I'll wait as I've heard nothing but good stuff about their work and quality, plus price.
