Schiit Lyr Tube Rollers
May 25, 2019 at 3:29 PM Post #21,601 of 23,494
I seemed to have lucked out (?) with a quiet pair of WE 2C51 in the LP. The WE also worked with the ceramic Garage 1217 adapters! I am currently using a SE cable until my balanced cable is reterminated for the Ether 2's. What are the chances that my luck will run out using the WE tubes in the LP balanced? :thinking:
I am looking forward to Tube Monger's 6922 to 12Axx adapters, (hopefully shipping soon) to try 12AU7's. The 6DJ8 / 6922 / 7308 and WE 2C51 options sound pretty good for an amp with only a couple of hours of break in. No complaints at this early stage using the LP with the Ether 2.
Now if only I could get the 6201 to play nice with the LP.................

Apologies in advance for the totally off-topic post. But as I'm standing in the garage this morning opening the bill from Progressive for my car insurance, I had a little visitor.

This is carrying 'targeted advertising' just a bit too far... :relaxed:

Your best bet is to try to lower the multiplication factor on the 6201, 12AT7 tubes themselves. Down to about 26 or less if possible. Let us know how that goes.

Someone needs to suggest to TubeMonger that they come out with an attenuating adapter...

I think most of Geico's commercials are hilarious, unlike Progressive that has apparently (and finally) replaced the nauseating 'Flo' with an even more nauseating super-nerd. Good thing I don't base buying decisions on commercials. :slight_smile:

Do you think I should offer that unrespectfull seller $1 more?!? For the Lorenz? Might be a fun read.

That would be a fun read if he replies...but he probably won't. Make it $80 (halfway between your original offer and his counteroffer). He'd probably reply to that even if just a nasty refusal.

hey, I need some suggestions for a pair of 12AX7s:
Something like Tele's but with a natural sound (eg Matsushita's) and a little warmth (eg Amperex). With top-end Air, liquid-y mids, taught bass.
And being light in the lower bass would be just fine.
TIA

GE tubes?
Click to expand...

Even better than GE. Yup, I can hear the cries of "What?" all the way from here. How can this be possible? But it's true. These are the holy grail of tube-dom.

Seriously (very, very seriously) just kidding. If you see a Philips tube with blue print and ECG, run. Fast. And I'm LMAO at the asking price on these. If it was $8.99 for the pair they'd still be overpriced by $8.98.

Sorry @fotomeow , I have nothing to suggest. The Tele's are by far my favorite of that tube type, and I don't have much experience with anything else. Well, except these, and if they were the only 12AX7 I'd ever heard I'd have become a solid state guy a long time ago.

EDIT: Now I'm LMAO even harder. Who needs Saturday Night Live with this kind of comedy on Ebay? :grin:
