Nothing. I'm out because I have a Valhalla 2 and not a Lyr 2. You'd be better served by those that own one and can directly relate SQ of tubes to that amp.

Ah thanks. Sorry for the brainfart on my part. I actually have both but the Valhalla 2 sounds reasonably ok with the stock tubes so I'm going to run those until I'm sure they have enough hours so that I know how they sound. The Lyr 2 is just totally lifeless with the stock tubes for me. It doesn't sound good with anything I have.

I have recently gotten back into headphones after a long hiatus. First I was using my Asgard 2 with Sony MDR-Z1R's. Fed by a Yggy hooked up to my computer. Jriver. Sounded great. I just hooked up my original Lyr to the Yggy and am listening through my Audeze LCD-2's. Telefunken tubes. All I can say is WOW. This sounds fantastic!!

Welcome back. No matter which cans you prefer, the Yggy is worth every penny.

Telefunkens are the bomb. Enjoy!

What's up fellas? A single GEC A2900 for a good price in MY OPINION.

Apologies for the long link, deleting goes extremely quick and winds up deleting too much.

Well at least they have the decency to sell a pair rather than one like that last guy. I mean come on, seriously!

And btw I thought that 1680 number was in my local currency so I was like "yeah, this could be ok..." Then I realized it was dollars.

 

[billerb1]

Lol, well the triples are good. But they sure aren't THAT good.

Am I the only one around here that hasn't heard them GECos?

Edit: Also how can head-fi go from worse to worse UIs over the years I will never understand....

No. But I doubt it helps much

This is the definition of progress

I didn't like my 71 pair at first, but after using it with the MJ2 on low gain with my LP as my amp with various tubes, the GEC became a top 5 tube. You need to take into account that they have a very high amplification factor some where around ECC83 I think. New site is buggy I wasn't notified I had various messages and didn't know, can't seem to get the online status even checking the box. Speaking of boxes I have a minty GEC box that I can let you buy it for say $99 plus $99 shipping. The box appears to be heavier than 1 2ply tissue. I have a 10% option but I don't want to charge that for a pal.

Hey fellas! It's been a while, but I just wanted to say hi, and tell ya'll the good news. I found my "Holy Grail" tube! The Hamburg ECC82 Long Plate D Getter from 56', is the best tube I have ever heard, without a doubt. This tube is quite a bit warmer than I was expecting and has killer bass, but the magic is in the mids and highs. I don't have enough adjectives to describe how amazing this tube sounds, but it is incredible. The bass hits hard, the mids are forward, detailed and natural, and the highs sparkle but never get harsh. The delicacy of the notes, and sparkle is really special and I have not heard this with any other tube. This tube has a huge holographic soundstage, and sounds the most life like of all my tubes. I have had many a late nights since getting this tube, and I am hearing things I have never heard before. This tube puts you there with the musicians, like no other tube I have heard.
