    I sold mine to @rtaylor76 . The amp AND the tube. It makes the Lyr more dynamic sounding, though perhaps at the expense of adding some glare and/or etchiness to the sound. Worked best with smooth headphones like the 650.

    @Skyline LOL yeah I actually just read your impressions on the Lyr 3 thread, which peaked my curiosity.

    I will agree with @Skyline. It does add some more low end than the stock,tube and seems to have more gain, but once warmed up can sound spacious and detailed. Slight etch up top. I have a love/hate relationship with it with my HE-500's depending on the track, but with 650's always wins. Also, more detail and plankton than the new production TS, but more U-shaped sound.

    I hope those comments were the same as what I said here!

    Unless, of course, I posted during my honeymoon period with a new tube :P

    @rtaylor76 ty for your input. If no one responds, I'll probably just order one new and see how I like it.

    @Skyline It's pretty much what I read I think ;)

    Not a fan, too bright for my tastes and the midrange loses some warmth. Noticed this with Lyr3/Clear and Saga.
