IN THE bOX

Lyr 2 accomodates any 6DJ8, 6922, ECC88,

6N23P, 6BZ7, and 6N1P tube types, so feel free

to swap the stock tubes to “tune” the overall

sound signature to your needs.
To swap tubes:
1. Turn off and unplug the amplifier. Wait a few

minutes for the tubes to cool.
2. Carefully extract tubes by gently rocking them

back and forth and pulling upwards. Yes, we

know it’s a pain in the kiester. Have patience, or

ask a friend with small hands to help.
3. Carefully insert the replacement tubes. Align

the pins to the sockets and press down gently

until the tubes are seated.
4. Plug the amplifier back in and turn it on. After

the tubes warm up, you should hear music.
Follow this same procedure when replacing

tubes that are worn out from use. Tubes last

about 5,000 hours typically.

CAUTION! Dangerous voltages inside.

Follow all instructions carefully.
1. Before plugging in the amplifier, insert the

tubes. They’re both the same, so it doesn’t

matter where they go.

2. Ensure tubes are well-seated. Align carefully

and push down gently until seated.
3. Plug in your amplifier and turn it on. The

tubes will glow after a few seconds, and the

relay will connect the output after 20 seconds.
4. Connect your source. And enjoy your music!
