Schiit Lyr Tube Rollers

Interesting those 50's 3x Reflektor 6N2P don't have the huge getter flashing like the 6N3P's. A.C. have you seen any Foton 6N2P's? , I have not the short time I been looking at them.
I received a Foton 6n2p in a batch of the 6n3p by accident, but haven’t found any others for sale. Looks like they’re as rare as the 6n3p.

My 1958 Reflektor 6N3P triple micas finally arrived from Ukraine. You know it's slow when the Chinese adapters beat them by over a week. Initial listen with zero burnin echoes the comments that they're much like the Fotons (which were also excellent straight into the Lyr). Maybe a shade brighter. Make the 7XX sound like an HD600 so what will happen when I try them with good headphones?

6N2Ps just made it to Moscow so who knows when they will get here.

Have been burning in the Reflektor 3x mica’s for the past 3 days while listening on Tidal HiFi/master.

I agree with the group, they are outstanding and I cannot tell the difference at all between these and the Foton 3x. They are especially sweet sounding with the LCD2-C and AFO.

I’ve got and Atticus coming Wednesday and cannot wait to hear this paring.

Got 2 pair of 50's Tesla 6CC41's and 2 pair of Reflektor 6N2P 58's on the way. Never ever thought I would buy Tesla again but there it is. Heard both a amazing tubes.
Heretic!

:wink:

Really wanna pi$$ off Cardinal Richelieu (I think his nom de guerre might be Bill Erb): snag a pair of Tesla ECC88s (not the overpriced E88CCs), if AC hasn't convinced you already. He may be a good source, in fact. Just remember: ears/brains/rigs all vary.

Rangy out.

I'll wait until he falls in love with the 6CC41s before I tell him the ECC88 are even better :)

I'm now tumbling down the 12at7 (E81CC, ECC801S, E180CC) rabbit hole...adapters on order, few pairs of tubes already ordered, and also managed to snag a pair of Heerlen PW D getter from the 50s for $100....considerably cheaper than the E88CC types at the moment, but likely to change as the 12ax7 type NOS dries up completely and they all start on the 12at7 variants...

I'll report back on how they all sound when I receive them all.
