Hi
Im going to buy new tubes for Lyr ( I have stuck tubes )
I like more and deep bass - high detail also vocal- soundstage - mid and high better than stuck tubes
I read a lot of pages about many tubes but I can not decide for buying one of them

All those things you ask for in a single pair of tubes is very hard to come by. Imo this is a good place to start.

Brimars have better depth from top to bottom. Punchy bass, surprising detail for a UK tube. Bass is not as deep as Mullards, but I find them better sounding. I call the 7L4 Heerlen tubes a more refined Brimar CV2492. All IMO. I find the Mullard tubes either in my dac or amp masks the sound of holy grail tubes. The Brimars do not.
Edit: never heard the Mullard CV2492 though. My Mullard experience is ECC88 (Blackburn), E88CC Mitchams, and the awful Mullard RTC dimple getter E188CC.

I'll testify to those Brimars. They are spectacular. They're the better tube by far over the blackburns. But , to refresh my memory. I have a gold pin E88CC blackburn on its way.

3 way shootout in my Scott Nixon tube dac.
65 Blackburn
68 Brimar(thank you my monkey friend)
And of course. Old yeller , which I have in house.(thanks Todd) :D

Those are pretty sketchy. I call them fakes. No codes, and the construction is not Holland.
I just posted these a few hours ago.

You can get some nice vintage for less than $200.
