1956 Footscray is a triple mica tube with a square getter(best tube for cv4033)
1957 Footscray is the same but with an O getter. (Second best cv4033)
1958 Rochester is identical to the number 2 tube but made in a different factory after Footscray burnt down.
All Rochester tubes after 1958 went to a 2 mica build with an O getter. Still a great sounding but not on the level above.

Cheers!

Wow, I had no idea there was so much variation in the manufacture of these. The high demand for Footscrays makes more sense now.

Hi everyone, I haven’t been on here in a really long time, my chronic health issues are getting worse, hence my absence. I did want to come on and say why I have been absent and to wish all of you who celebrate it, a Happy Thanksgiving



On a separate note, Tubemonger is going to have a Black Friday sale for anyone who may be interested.

Lyr 1 yep. Lyr 2 nope.
6c8g is a great tube. Me personally would get adapters for 12at7/12au7.

You get the soundstage presence of the 6c8g and the meat and potatoes of the 5670/396a/2c51 in a single tube.

When the **** did that happen? Hi Sam. I got a few 12au7 for my rogue. The lyr hasn't been set up for years cuz of the cayin i ha6. Glad to see the old guard still Rollin. Billerb TK,

What is up my brother
Long time no see! There's some spectacular 12au7 tubes bro! The rft ecc82 foil getter, Footscray CV4034, Tungsram ECC82 Black plates.
Really awesome to see your post bro!

Most of mine are old Americans which are usually noisy but awesome staging then Heerlen and brimar. I'll have to dig em up. Pandemic forced me out of new Orleans. I bought a house in SC years ago so I'm there now. Retired and broke. So not many purchases going on. Glad to see y'all are still experimenting. Of it'll be 2 months to get new adapters for the 12au7s. I thought the grid was too weak for em. I'm still running the gramma 2c51s in my dac.

Great headphone! On the tubes: if you want to stay with 6922 types (no adapters), Tungsram E88CC (at Tubemonger). If you want to try adapters, Brimar CV455 KB/FB (at Langrex) with 12A*7 —> E88CC adapters (at Pulse Tube Store).

Thanks a lot. I've ordered a pair of Tungsram E88CC as I wasn't sure about messing around with the adapter.

I'll let you know when I've had a chance to listen to them.

You will like them: airy, extended. I have used / ‘rolled’ them in Liquid Platinum, Schiit Valhalla 2, Woo WA2, Woo WA3…

Newbie question. Just got the Lyr3.

Can the Lyr3 with a 6sn7 adapter to 2C51 / 396a / 5670 use those tubes?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

I answered your question in the lyr 3 thread. The answer is yes.

Does Foton / Reflektor 6N3P with triple mica has the same sound characteristics as the Voskhod / Reflektor 6N23P?

 

[billerb1]

Since I moved to the Telefunken G73R's, my former #1 Telefunken ECC801S's (matched pair) are now available in the Classifieds. Great deal.
PM me.

Everyone sees this at the top of the page and thinks....................whaaaaaaaaaat???? 7 months later, here we are, if anyone responds.

I have a pair of Pcc88 Tung-Sols........ I have a Schiit MJ2 and the current Lyr. I couldn't find anything online if this tube runs straight in or needs an adapter, so my amp doesn't fry. I am nowhere close to looking at a tube and knowing, as I don't have the knowledge. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

What happened to this thread anyway?
