Yeah, that's why I held off, but with more than a couple pairs of noisy tubes, I figured what the hell.  So far so good.  I was bummed about those 'D' getter 6922s, and the 1961 Valvos from Heerlen were a little wonky, too, but I love their sound.  Time will tell with the Herbie's but they do get good reviews.

Lots of snake-oily stuff tends to get extremely good reviews, when's the last time anyone spent $1000 on a power cable and didn't see an 'improvement?" XD
 
I totally understand though.  Maybe if the tubes had lots of microphonic issues beforehand it would help a tiny bit, but on a perfectly good tube with little to no issues I can't imagine it would help much.
 
He does have a 90 day money back guarantee, that's cool :D

^Lots of great advice, I cannot remember who posted them, but you can get "tube clamps" on EBay and Amazon, excellent for tubectomies. A cheap solution is shot liner, nice and grippy for tubes.

These were 30 bucks, so.... and I've already experienced the fact that they work as intended.  It's not a tiny bit.  Those two tubes were basically unusable with the amount of noise.  Now, dead quiet.  I'm not sure I'll use them on my Telefunken E88CCs, for example, but I'll probably listen without and then with to see if I hear a difference.  Purely for research purposes, of course.
 
So yeah, for 30 bucks, I'm chuffed.

  When I got my Lyr in January, I read all of the posts and someone mentioned the Electro-Harmonix Tube Glove which I bought. This makes removing tubes super simple even when warm. Can be used on the triodes or larger tubes. You can find on Amazon : http://www.amazon.com/Electro-Harmonix-EH-Tube-Glove/dp/B000UMCLIC .
 
As far as tubes go, I like the HG Reflectors as # 1, the Telefunken E88CCs as #2 and the 1966 Siemen Halskes as #3 (the HGs and Siemens I got from billerb1).

I have a spare pair of the 75 HG Reflektors, Many people feel they are # 1, Teles # 2. Bargain priced at $180, retested on my Sencore TC 154, test perfect. If anyone is interested PM me.

Siemens CCa matched pair, um wow!
 
how do these extract more detail and also present a realistic "snare feel/sound" to that drum, not to mention helping all drums sound like a "round" (shaped) instrument!?
 
 
removed Telefunken E88CC, and they might stay on the shelf awhile now.
thanks to a head-fi member!
