In case anyone is looking for Foton triple mica

Hi AC!! Good to see you!

Isn't the Foton the one in the middle? That's the only one of the 3 that's been sold. Wonder what that Frayzno sounds like. Haven't ever heard one, and honestly haven't ever even heard of Frayzno itself.

Probably sounds a bit frayed, no?

LOL! I thought Frayzno was a town in California a little south and west of San Jose?

the one on the left is branded reflektor but it’s also a Foton. The one on the right is likewise a foton. I have a few pairs of them if you want to try them. Very similar to the full size ones in character, a touch less warm, a bit more precise.

Wow, good to know. Thanks. That one on the right looks about the same size as a 396A or 2C51? I'm (obviously) not well-versed with this tube type...

It’s in between the size of a regular Foton and a 2C51. Definitely stack a few savers if you use them on a schiit amp, they’re tough to get out otherwise.

Got a Voshkod 6N23P '79 gray shield (on the cheap off ebay), because I always used Voshkods with my Little Dot MkII and was always pleased with the result. Here, though, I'm getting really forward mids with the Voshkods - my Sundara goes from being the laidback headphone that it typically is to being really in your face with a pronounced shout in the upper mids that isn't typically there. It does make them a lot more enjoyable for heavier music like pop and rock (they're usually a bit too laidback and delicate-sounding), but I can't use them for classical or ambient with this - they sound too unnatural. Anybody have experience with this? I was led to expect detail with these tubes, but that's not so much what I've gotten. Moreover, the Voshkods don't work so well with the AKG K400.

I'd say I'm looking for something with less weirdness in the mids. Does anybody have ideas?

Hey guys, I know this isn't a tube you spend much time on, but I'm interested in getting some good testing 60's 12AX7s - matched pairs. I'm especially interested in Teles, Mullard, Amperex, - I thought some of you might have one or two in your miscellaneous "what do I do with this" box.
Cheers

Hey guys, anybody have a magic recipe for running LCD-3 off the Lyr 2? I have the stock tubes and my LCD-2C sounds rather uninspiring. Getting the LCD-3 shortly and don't expect the Lyr 2 to be any better with the stock tubes. Thanks.

Happy New Year fellas! Have not been online much due to a 2nd spinal surgery couple weeks back and all my gear has been off more than a month. Currently accepting donations (GEC A2900 3x mica) if anybody is interested. Lol.

 

[gimmeheadroom]

Yow, sorry to hear that. Get well soon and happy new year to all the tubers!

P.S. I can send you the empty boxes but it's gonna cost you

 

[Ripper2860]

Welcome back, @TK16 ! I would have rolled out the red carpet, but BangyBang is using it for their next round of tube pics!

BTW - That's not a tube in my pocket - I'm just happy to see you!

ROFL!!

Good to see you again TK! Best wishes for a speedy recovery. I don't have any GEC A2900's. I could send you some 50's WE 300B's, but they won't fit in the Lyr 2, so no help there, sorry.

My wife had back surgery last Friday and had dead people parts installed. I'm wishing her a speedy recovery too because the "Would you minds' and "Can you get me's" have already lost their charm.

Hey Bro! Glad to see you back in on this thread, and hoping you have a good recovery!

As can be seen, you are the lifeblood of this amazing thread, and have been missed. I wish I could help you out with those GEC, but they are nowhere to be found.
