I heard from someone here that the plastic cling wrap works great to get a grip on the tubes. I tried and agree, no messy residue from tape...
Latex rubber gloves are a handy way to grip tubes firmly & work loose (don't even have to put them on if you don't want to, just use couple finger sections to get a firm grip). Works like a charm.
It's an open frame test amp, so they're easy to take in and out by hand.
For the amp as delivered, tape works fine.
Could anyone do me a MASSIVE favor and help me find a set of decent tubes? I'm really new to tube rolling but I've done hours upon hours of research and I still don't know exactly what I'm looking for on ebay (or other sites). I've read rb2013's favorites but I've had no luck with finding any of them on eBay that seem like a good deal. I've looked at OG's, Voskhods, Amperex 7308's, etc. but I don't know what's a "good deal". I have HD650's if that matters.
I'm looking for a warm sounding tube amp with nice clarity and soundstage for under $130. If you guys happen to find anything that fits this criteria could you pm me? Thank you so, so much for the help guys! I'm eternally grateful!Thanks, again!
And the heat issue?
Noticed the lyr sounded much smoother after I got drunk and forgot to turn it off one night.
Would it harm it to be on for days?

Won't harm the Lyr at all. I left it on for over 300 hours one burn-in session/marathon. I've read that the MOSFETs can take hours to get warmed up to optimal. Perhaps that's what you were hearing. Maybe I'll get drunk tonight, leave it on, and compare tomorrow afternoon
I've left mine on days at a time when I was rolling like crazy. Never had an issue. Lol
They are much more than Headphonius Supremei. They are both prophets.
Just testifyin'.
It's true (no point in false modesty), and not just prophets, but priests. In fact, @Guidostrunk and I will bless your very expensive tubes in a week-long ritual. PM one of us for details.

LOL. What?
