Schiit Lyr Tube Rollers
Oct 16, 2018 at 4:38 AM Post #19,096 of 23,494
Anybody got any idea what these tubes might be?

They are supposedly Fivre 12au7 square getters, they came in Fivre boxes and were sold as Fivre, however I can't find any other Fivre ECC82 online that look like them.
They have almost no print and no codes but you can see that they used to have "Made in Italy" printed on them.
They seem to have this silverish metal plate and and the actual plates seem to wrap around it and this silverish plate connects the micas.

Yep definitely them! Thanks!

Looks like I overpaid -> http://www.nostubestore.com/2014/07/rcaates-italian-marconi-ecc8212au7-italy.html they can be had for 68$ a pair ( I paid 100$ on ebay but I've been having Fivre/Italian tube fever lately as I never had the chance to hear italy made tubes in the 6922 family) and are from late 50s.

But those are RCA/Marconi, not Fivre.

Here's the Fivre you want - green label are apparently the best by far:

Yeah as I said they were sold as Fivre, came in Fivre boxes and I didn't do my research as they looked legit enough at first. I have two singles of the Fivre we're talking about on the way as well.

(Also some of the ECC81 Fivre variety with the green stickers on the way as well, we'll see what matches what when they get here).

Nice, the Milano manufactured green label should be sweet.

If I assemble more than 1 good pair I'll let you know.
Also these Marconi did not sound bad at all when I tried them yesterday at work. Currently testing them and will listen at home.

You guys are buying A LOT of tubes lately. Are you keeping them all or selling off the ones that don’t reach the level you’re looking for?

Probably going to add some CBS 5670 and a pair of 55 or 56 12AT7 Blackburn's to my signature when I get my 2 singles in. You know you can't hold out forever, your addiction will go into a relapse AGAIN.

You have some pretty good retails on your tubes in your sig brother. I’m surprised a lot to most haven’t sold yet.
Before you say it, maybe.... you never know, possibly........... I’m starting to scratch.

I can’t keep up. You guys left me in the dust a few months ago. My upgraded Yggy 2 though is a real revelation. The realism is truly amazing. And I don’t think I’m even there yet at two weeks in.

You can start out with a pair of E180CC PW Heerlen tubes.
Rather inexpensive for a PW variant.
Choose 2 tubes for a pair. The ones I got from this seller are a good match Gm wise.
