If you wanted to ditch the SR-009 and with different tubes now all of a sudden it is soooo great - then there is “something” SERIOUSLY wrong!!
That too in the pre-amp.

thank you for your advice for tube pre-amping.You don't. Enjoy the magic!
Get a Schiit Loki mini+. That's what I use.So what is everyone's opinion on the Blue Tac mod for the L700s? It is needed or useless?
Not all tubes are the same and not all tubes sound the same on different amps. Some tubes sound almost like solidstate. Someone recommended those particular tubes for my Schiit Lyr. They were $250 a pair, worth every penny.Wouldn't imagine tubes' brand can make that much difference.
I don't know much about changing tubes in Stax amps, I would think that they have a very limited choice of tubes. I prefer to have 252S or 717 and pre-amp them with tubes. Your choices would be unlimited.How about using a SRM-T1 with CCS mod and tube change (to ECC99) drives 009 and 007 quite well and has "tube sound"!
(works also with the SRM-006t and 007t btw.)
Lyr3 is a single tube. I have old Lyr1 with 2 tubes. I've read that new Lyr is not as "tubby" as Lyr1.also interested to hear more on this as I will soon choose to invest on a higher end amp for the L700 (plans to add a 007 or 9 later this year) or a tube preamp + not so hi-end amp. I was more inclined to just get the amp, wondering that preamps would change less the character of the omegas, and I have a solid state dac/HP amp that can be used as pre. Is the Lyr really a single tube?
