Schiit Lyr Tube Rollers

[Moochibond]

Hi guys,
 
Picked up these Red Valvo E88CC a few weeks ago

Is anyone willing to trade their Reflektor 74 Silver Shield for the aforementioned Red Valvo and 2 of these Amperex http://tinyurl.com/hwjdnk7 
 
Kind regards,
 
Mooch

I'd be more than happy to unload a pair of 74 reflektors for just those Heerlen Valvo but I never did international shipping, I am in the USA, how involved would it be to ship from my local post office? Paid 119 usd for the pair and just finished around a 120hr burn in. If it aint too involved I would be interested. The pair are dated XI and XII 1974.

You can have my Mitcham-made 1970 "RTC" E188CCs, and I pity your ears.  They are B-A-D-D bad.
 

ThurstonX,
 
I have noticed on Mullard E188CC tubes that a black spot forms in the getter flashing, (Black Spot in in top of tube). Are Mullard tubes more fragile than other vacuum tubes, and expire faster?

Got 6 sets of Mullards, have not noticed anything like that.

 ​Ok, must be a random occurrence with my sets of Mullard E188CC's.

Got 2 sets of those e188cc as well, 1972s and no funny business. Maybe post a pic of the tubes if your worried?

Currently listening to the most questionable set of Mullard RTC E188CC's. 15min, and they sound fine!

TK16,
 
I experimented with worn tubes to gain experience, and know when tubes go bad. Telltale signs are , black getter flashing, static, left, and right channel drop out.

Purchased a Bifrost MB and Lyr 2 several weeks ago.  The amp came with extra tubes Including LISST.  NOS: 1968 E88CC Tesla,  Jan. 1962 6922 Beckman Label Amperex NY & 1974 6N23P Reflektor SWGP.
 
Have spent some time trying the tubes.
 
My source is an iMac with Apple Lossless CD rips - USB to Bifrost MB - Lyr 2.  Various music including classic rock, blues, jazz, folk, bluegrass, crooners,  beach, classical...
 
Phones are primarily Sennheiser HD 650 and Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250 Ohm, others tested include Koss Tony Bennett Special Editions & Sennheiser HD 598.
 
Thus far the '74 Reflektor is my favorite.
 
So much so that I would like to try a pair of '75 Reflektor SWGP.  Any suggestion on where to find a trusted pair?
 
Thanks,

You should check out "The 6922 Tube Review", by rb2013. I believe that rb2013 has '75 Reflector SWGP's for sale. PM Him.
