The Cadillac commercial with Wozniak showed a VPI Classic 4 turntable supposedly supplied by these guys out of Monrovia, CA:

Amp-wise they sell McIntosh & Chord Electronics, so possibly/ maybe a Hugo was driving the cans?

I too was impressed by the "great wall" of vinyl in the ad.

This weekend I will work on it - I'm building 27 seperate spreadsheets.  One for each song and one for each tube.  So I can rank by song and attribute, as well as overall.
 
Wifey is still kinda pissed at me for killing the weekend -12 hrs a day rolling.  So I have to be cool for awhile.
 
Anybody see this new Cadillac commercial with Steve Wozniack listening to a sweet analog rig and HD800s!  Oh yeah the Woz has great taste in music and HPs! 
Massive LP collection and a mega buck turntable.

  Just a quick question people.  Has anyone paired a set of HE-400i with an original Lyr?  I'm looking to add a set of mid price planars to my collection.

I tried that combination briefly when I was helping mod a friend's HE-400i. It definitely provided it with enough power, and it sounded good to me!

I bought the lyr when I bought my HE-400's. Work great. With the right tubes you can tune appropriately to get the sound you want.

I can report the Lyr sounds great with the HE-560!

I have used my lyr2, with gold lions( before my Telefunken E88CC platinum tubes) to make the HE-400i's sing like a muse of fire. :)

How were the Gold Lions? I've some Refecktors 1975 coming soon. The stock GE tubes are good. There's rolling ahead!

The goldlions are a good tube, for a currently produced tube. The Gold Lions ad to the bass, without bloat, and add a bit of lushness to the mids. Furthermore the highs have a touch of sparle, without sibilance. Finally the soundstage opens up and becomes more holographic. The Gold Lions are very nice, however one can get great sounding Vokshods NOS tubes, for half the cost of Gold Lions. The best tubes I have are the Telefunken E88CC platinum tubes.
