With the Stock JJ's only, I would have returned Lyr. They're horrible.

That's a good wait, but no, I wouldn't expect any discounts. Schiit already offers 
value, don't'cha be greedy.

Great...will keep following the sales thread...I can wait for some time...current setup E17->HE-400 is also quite good

I found the stock GE tubes do pretty well with the HE400.

If I had to forced into that situation it would be simple GE

Have you tried any ECC189 tubes?  You seem to have tried everything else and I would appreciate your input before I spend mega bucks.

My take on this tube is simple variable Mu, high distortion characteristics, was used as a UHF radio tube just throws so many red flags I would never roll it even if they are dirt cheap...
 
Sadly at the same time you can once in a purple and pink moon find tubes that are the square peg that should not fit into the round hole and would sound horrible in one amp and great in another so
my final take on it would be welcome to the world of tube rolling.   They are cheap whats to loose? looking back a few pages it appears others have tried this tube I see no gleeming reviews anywhere 
or epiphanies write a review on them  and welcome to the tube rolling experience

Well I've got some hours on my new Gold Lion 6922's.  Not exactly sure how I feel about them.  They definitely have low microphonics which is nice; not hearing any more noise from the nearby circuitry.  They don't seem to have as much "bloom" as the GE's, but are more transparent, have more accurate imaging, and better soundstage.  I also want to say they are more extended in the treble than the GE's.
