Well, at least he's gonna get one. Even if it eventually relegated as just a tube cooker in the future like many on this thread LOL
The Lyr 2 is an excellent preAmp tube product. It has its limitations, but sounds very good for desktop systems or small rooms. It sounded Great running it into my pair of active AudioEngine 5 speakers. And the tube rolling for it as a PreAmp is just as fun as rolling for HPs.
I initially bought the Lyr 2 as a preAmp, not for HPs. Percocet party-time?
These are beauties, professional packaging, the tissue paper, the rolled corrugated cardboard, love it.
Did you get them at Tubemonger? I think they have off-brand 6060's as well.
First, you should know by now that BangyBang, Totem-999, and Brent Jessee are all the SAME person.
And as far as an alternate universe goes, BangyBang and his alter egos are GOD! That should scare the shizzle out of you LOL
After sending the seamed pair back he sent the real deal? Amazing how that works.
Still don't trust that guy. After traveling to both India and Cuba, I learned that ingenuity in India is on parallel with the Cubans. Where there's a will, there is a way ,especially if you want to feed your family or make a little extra cash from "rich" Westerners.
Awesome, the socket savers and adaptors from China are OK ....... but always wonder about how they impact SQ. Running a pair of $200 NOS tubes thru a made-in-a-ubiquitous-factory-in-China doesn't provide reassurance to me.
