lyr is menglad’s hall in jotunheim in norse legend.

and jotunheim is the land of the giants.

don’t get freaked, but menglad is a woman.

she may even be freya or frigga.

but don’t think that’ll get you an in with odin.

In fact, we’d say hitting on her is a bad idea.

just enjoy your time in lyr.

welcome to LYR!

Lyr is a magniﬁcent hall in Jotunheim, land of the giants, presided

over by Menglad, the goddess of healing. Or she might be Freya,

the goddess of fertility. Or even Odin’s wife. But hey, let’s get off

the hot giant-woman frequency. We’re here to talk about Lyr, a

giant itself in the ﬁeld of headphone amps.

IN THE BOX

The following is required by the roughly 9,542 government agencies and regulations we have to comply with.

If you have some common sense, they should seem pretty straightforward. In any case, read these instructions

before proceeding farther, follow all instructions, and heed all warnings. Or else!

1. If you don’t know how to install audio devices, get a qualiﬁed professional to help.

2. Never use this device near water, and clean only with a dry cloth.

3. Assure adequate ventilation, do not block any ventilation openings, or place near heat sources.

4. Use only the supplied power cord or suitable replacement. Route cords away from trafﬁc areas and protect them from being

pinched. Unplug the cord from the outlet if the apparatus is unused for a long period of time.

5. To prevent electric shock, do not use the plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or outlet unless blades can be fully inserted.

6. Refer all servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel. Service is required when the device has been damaged, including cord or

plug damage, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the device, the device has been exposed to rain or moisture,

does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS DEVICE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

IN THE BOX GETTING STARTED TUBE swapping

Lyr 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

should begin glowing after a few seconds, and the

relay will connect the output after 20 seconds.

4. Connect your source. And enjoy your music!

TUBES

3 Headphone Jack.

This is where you

plug your headphones

in. It is very difﬁcult

to get satisfactory

results without using

headphones. Output is

delayed for 20 seconds

after you turn the Lyr

on, so don’t crank the

volume up looking for

output before then.

FRONT PANEL

1 Volume Knob. Turn

it to the right to make

the music louder. Stop

before smoke comes

out of your cans. Seri-

ously.

2 Power On LED.

When this is lit, the

power is on. When it’s

not lit ... well, you get

the picture here.

4 Tubes. These guys

get hot when in use, so

we don’t recommend

letting your ferret sleep

on them. Let tubes cool

down before extracting

them from the amp,

unless you want to

lose your ﬁngerprints

for a while.

5 Top Surface. And

yes, we know Lyr runs

plenty hot, even though

we told you it runs

slightly cooler than

Asgard. Please look up

the word “slightly” if

you are confused. Lyr

is not recommended

as a coffee warmer or

barbecue.

FAQ SPECS

I hear hum through the headphones, what do I do?

You may have a ground loop. To ﬁx a ground loop, try a GFCI

outlet or a ground loop isolator.

There’s no sound for a while after I turn Lyr on. What’s up?

That’s perfectly normal. Lyr delays the headphone output for

20 seconds after you ﬁrst turn the amp on.

Can I leave Lyr on all the time?

You can, but it shortens tube lifespan (5,000 hrs = 200 days).

Can I power speakers with Lyr?

That’s not a great idea—speakers require more current than

headphones, and you may trigger Lyr’s internal protection.

Internal protection? What?

Lyr has internal protection for overcurrent conditions. If the

music stops, turn off Lyr and let it cool down for an hour or so. It

should turn back on and work normally after that.

It doesn’t turn on, what do I do?

Plug it in to a different AC socket. Ensure you are not currently

in a blackout. Then call us if it still doesn’t turn on.
