Best Tubes for the Lyr

 

The Lyr is a fine tube amp that doesn't really come alive until you put premium tubes into it. I've tried Mullards and Matsushita 6DJ8/6922 /e88cc tubes in my Lyr, and while they were good, it always felt like something was missing. These tubes were...

This Schitt is bananas!

 

I picked up one of these because of the power requirements of the Audeze LCD-2 headphones. The tube sound is addictive and within a month I was rolling tubes. Fit and finish is TOP NOTCH. For the price (about half to a third of a Burson or Cary) you...

Caution and expectations

 

I bought this amplifier to pair with my HD-800, but sadly I had to return it. This was my first tube/valve amplifier and I went into this purchase with high expectations, but was ultimately left with disappointment.

Excellent value for money

 

This Amp is superb. Nothing less. You'll be very hard pressed to find this amount of quality for anything close to this price. Roll in some good NOS tubes, sit back and enjoy. Drives my HifiMan HE500's with ease and in fact makes them sing almost...

Amazing. This is a difference maker

 

I bought this and have used it for a couple weeks now. Like another reviewer, mine came with the GE tubes. It is being used between a HP Envy Laptop (With the Beats audio; I am not convinced that is beneficial) playing iTunes/Foobar and my Sennheiser...

What a GREAT place to start as an audiophile newbie!

 

I was taken by surprise to have received my Schiit LYR headphone amplifier just today. This piece looks and feels like it came off of Gort's spaceship. It's solid metal weight & feel, the fact that it's valve (tube) driven, and minimum knob...
