Just put my non-grandpas TS2c51's BACK in after a lot of other burning and I couldn't be happier !!

Okay, I took out the "grandpas" Tung-Sol 2C51 tubes after 100 hours and replaced them with my first pair of WE396A tubes. I am MUCH happier now. These and the JW variant are the best tubes I have ever heard in my MJ2...bar none!

Hey winders, what DAC are you using with your MJ2? Thanks

Heresy Winders.
I've been amazed by the 6sn7s in the lyr1 with the zmf vibro. I am astounded by the soundstage they produce. It just doesn't happen. They are a beautiful sweet sounding headphone but soundstage has been its Achilles heel. like the lcd2 in that way. These tubes really open it up. Much like the TS and GE do in my dac. It's just amazing to do that to the vibro .

Hey Scott,
Can you list all the tubes you've had (6922 family / 2C51 family included)?
My memory may be false but I don't think you got to listen to more of the 'better low end/midrange' tubes from the 6922 family, that the WE396A are supposed to be equivalent to (I'm not saying WE396A aren't great for they price they are amazing), just adding that "bar none" may be a bit definitive since there are maaaaaaaaaaany more tubes to hear

I like them WE JW square getters probably better than any 6922 tube, possible exception are the d getter Heerlens or the Valvo CCa pw Heerlens. Have not listened to those sets in a couple months though. Like them so much I sold my backup pair of pw.

Thank you very much

Any of you USA headfier`s open to a trade?\ Pm me if interested. Would be willing to trade 2 pair of the GE square getter triple mica 5670 "JG" military designation for a pair of the PW Tesla 6CC42. The GE`s are a tad too lean for my taste. Shoot me some offers before I sober up. Just kidding about being drunk. LMAO. Link below.

Hey everyone,
I'm sure this has been asked before. I have a Lyr-1. I would like to get the 6SN7 adapter from Tube Depot. Can someone just tell me how many socket savers I would need to install the adapter and the 6NS7 tubes. Thanks

 

[tvnosaint]

4, 2 each side.

4, 2 each side.

Thanks very much

I got the cheap ones from China . 6 for $15 or something like that. The 6sn7 adapters don't sit flush. Takes some work to eliminate the hum. So depot may be the better option. Or you can jump ahead and go straight to the 6c8g. Like someone named Bill or Tony advised me. I didn't heed the prophets. Now those things are on the way too. Tubes waiting. Still glad I tried them if only for the synergy with the vibro.

Hello Tube Masters.

I need your advise, I'm trying to sell some tubes. Do you recommend Ebay? or Audiogon?

Thank you

Sold a lot with stuff in my sig and this thread in general, you will get more selling on ebay though.
