Be interesting to see how your '58's compare to Ivan's.  Mine are so pretty.

I`ll post my impressions when I get them. These `58`s sounded fantastic with no burn in at all.

Yeah I have another pair of the same tubes sent to the US on March 2nd that still hasn't arrived postal services are quite great trolls

Enjoy the delicate beauty of "Ivan's Reds" today boys.  Unlike any Heerlens I've ever heard.

I would doubt they'll need any burn-in. Mine didn't.

Hello Head-Fi,
 
I've spent a good amount of time researching tubes for the Lyr 2 and I've had a good amount of luck being able to locate the recommended tubes. The questions I have is if a buyer is looking for improvement over stock and is looking for 90+ rated tube what are the recommendations? Saying the Telefunken CCa are 115+ rated. I'm using modi 2u dac, and Sen HD700's. Music preference is little bit of everything.  Thanks for your time.

I have been looking at this very informative thread, although as a newbie to tube-rolling it's rather large and slightly confusing given the wealth of opinions. BTW I haven't read all 800+ pages !
 
I'm going to order HE-560 as a step up from my HD-650's.. since I got settled into the LYR 2, I'm finding the 650's somewhat muddy (or dampened... presumably down to the so-called 'veil'). So, I'm looking for a more articulate bass and more detailed, clearer mids & highs but trying to avoid treble glare. I particularly find piano chords rather prone to glare on the HD-650...so want to avoid that. I mostly listen to acoustic instrumental music (eg jazz), some classic rock and some classical.
 
So, to achieve this I'm thinking about a suitable, but not too expensive, starting point for tubes to suit HE-560 on the LYR 2. I have some recommendations on the LYR thread and they seem reasonable to me (thank-you @DavidA & @Rudiger). I'd appreciate any further thoughts/experiences from anyone that has HE-560 with a LYR 2 and what results I could expect to get from any particular recommendations. I guess I'm looking for an up-to-date consensus.

I don't know that you will find the HE-560 better than the HD 650. Different? Sure. It will be interesting to hear your thoughts on the differences.
