Schiit Lyr Tube Rollers
Dec 14, 2015 at 7:26 PM Post #8,191 of 23,494
So as I've been going through the threads I've noticed a pattern (at a snails pace I might add).

people with traditionally bright headphones(t1, Hd800)  seem to recommend the warmer tubes (herleens, blackburn, Amperex)
 
whereas people with darker headphones(650's, LCD-(#)) seem to recommend the brighter tubes (russians, siemens, telefunkens) 
 
 
anyone here care to tell me they prefer listening to OG's with their LCD-2 =D

Welcome back! Nearly everyone of late, regardless of headphones is looking at or enjoying the warmer tubes. I'm using zmfs and miniwatts/ reflektors /mullards/ Lorenz in the lyr.
So I like the warm tubes with my dark hps. The Lorenz are my current favorites with the he560 and my ok' q701s.
I've just put 74 reflektors in my dac. After doing so I must apologize to an lcd2.2 user asking for a treble oriented tube. I was wrong about the Sylvania 6922. It is not bright. It's very thick mid oriented. Pleasant but not great. In the dac they seemed bright. I took them out to see which way I was going with the replacement tubes . I opted for more sparkle, soundstage and dynamics. Last 2 choices were the Dario e188cc and the 74 reflektors. Keeping my 75s for the lyr as well as my favorite Philips miniwatts along with the usual suspects. Rolling the monarchy requires taking off the case. A slight inconvenience.
Sorry lcd guy, don't get Sylvania 6922.

That would be very nice indeed. Wonder what they will go for. My Blackburn ecc88s are one of my favorite tubes. These are clearly an upgrade from those .

I'm gonna guess $565.79, unless he accepts Bill's seriously low-ball bid

Yeah, those are pretty sweet.  You talked me into a pair of Blackburn ECC88s.  Not many out there.  Almost all my Brit tubes are Mitcham, with a Rochester thrown in the mix.  They're on their way from Oz or New Zealand.  Hopefully for Christmas.

I got mine for about $40. I have another pair on the way for just as cheap. Love that smooth easy presentation and bassy drive. They are by no means detail tubes. They just please my ears. I hope you enjoy yours . I see there's a price drop in the profile. I wonder if they will sell at all. That's a cockknocker of a starting bid.

I don't suppose the thought counts here?

  They're very pretty but at that price from a tube dealer I would expect test result numbers.

​Just to let everyone know.  The seller is the same one I bought the questionable red lable Valvo CCa's.  If anyone buys them for Bill,  Beware...

Not if the sellers integrity has been brought into question by a trusted colleague.
