I used a pair of Mullard '66 and it really did the trick.

Cool Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for them online.   how critical is it to have them 'matched'?

What's a good/fair price for a pair of Mullard's going these days?

Folks. If you haven't heard any of the Voskhod 6n23p's , from the mid to late 70's , you're missing out. I'm currently running a pair of 78 silver shields that I purchased from a fellow headfier from the lyr forum. All I can say is WOW. it's leaps and bounds better than the stock tubes. Seek out the 75 silver shields (holy grails) as they're ranked #1. 78 silvers are #3.

Well I had placed an order in Oct with shipping scheduled in Nov 3rd Week. When I send an email out inquiring about the status , Schiit replied that due to delays the new shipping date will be early December.

I am going to be ordering a new Valhalla 2 and would like some suggestions on the best tubes to get for it to drive some HD650 headphones. If they would also sound good with the HD700's that would be a plus as well.

There's a ton of great info in the lyr tube rollers thread. They pretty much cover everything tubes. Cheers.

Thanks, I didn't know the Lyr and Valhalla used the same tubes.

They don't.

Actually the Lyr and the Valhalla 2 both use the 6DJ8, 6922 family of tubes. Although the V2 adds a set of output tubes the Lyr does not have. As always, experimentation is best to find the right tubes for yourself. However, some generalizations can be gleaned by reading others experiences - for a starting point anyway.

 

[Guidostrunk]

Um. they do. 6922 family.

They don't.

 

[Billheiser]

Sorry for the misinfo, I didn't know about the 6922 family. As delivered by Schiit, the Lyr has two 6Bz7 tubes, on the input side. They recommend *against* using 6N1P tube types on the Lyr. The Valhalla comes with two 6N1P tubes on the input side, and two 6N6P tubes for output.

Who sells the adapters for 6922 original tube intended  to 6SN7s.  I love my 6SN7s and about a million of them (don't ask). If you can tell me of a good reliable supplier of these and other adapters I would be very grateful.

Hi everyone, I just recently got a Schiit Valhalla for use with my HD650 and I'm pretty newbie to this tubes rolling things. What if I want to spend only one time for new tubes. What would be the best option that i can live for long time with HD650 and Valhalla? Any help would be great. Thanks
