So, would I recommend the first generation Schiit Lyr tube headphone amp/preamp? Hell no. In fact, I will compare it to Rice Krispies. It snaps, crackles and pops. The noise floor is close to the ceiling, at least with the ancient soviet tubes I have on hand here. But am I having fun with it? A resounding yes. But not as my main headphone amp, I have the far better Lyr 3 for that. It's now a preamp in my retrocomputing basement, and I have a very crackly little party going on all by myself, listening to a bit of contemporary, bassy pop music, as 50-somethings do when they're left to their own (numerous) devices. #audio #schiit #retrocomputing #tubeAmplifier

@Vivaldi why the 1337? Realizing #key1337 of course... but, why? Just for fun, or is there a story behind it. How'd I know. Because Oh boy! too much text always!

Alley Cat Music store is gone.

I managed their website in the early 2000's. Pics of their all-tube "SRC Barker" amp line, designed by Dr David H Sarge (Fender Deluxe Black Face?).

Mark Ross, owner, passed away in 2020. I learned a lot working there. Rockabilly/Americana players taught me the inspiration of James Burton. Genuine rock-n-roll!

SRC Barker amps are still made, and Mark Ross's legacy lives on. I remember him through "Tanya Browne" and "Queen Bee and the Blue Hornet Band".

The "C" in SRC is for the craftsman who assembled the amps. I can't recall his name, but Mark and Dave were always present. Invaluable knowledge lost likely.

"Point-to-point" wired, all tube, hand-made amps. I enjoyed curating these images, inspired by vintage calendars. Rockabilly evolved into Americana in the mid-90's.

Looks like Alex Lifeson and Mojotone are bringing out new versions of Lifeson’s signature Lerxst amps.

That sound you are hearing right now (not the youtube clip) is me drooling. They are too expensive to really consider, but that doesn’t matter. I’m still drooling. Literally.

Hopefully we’ll have some good review videos soon. I want to hear more.
