Is a protection circuit something typically fixable, or needing a PCB replacement?
think i read in a forum that the protection circuit of the lyr 3 kicks in at any sound under 8Hz or so, maybe the cause of your problem or my input came a bit to late to help you
I still have Lyr 1, is there a reason to upgrade to Lyr 3?
Single Tube, easier/cheaper to roll. Has high/low gain stages. Modular expandability. Iām going to guess noise performance is much improved, and flexibility with lower impedance cans is much much better. I wonder if output impedance is lower (Itās very low on Lyr3, unsure what it was on Lyr 1). Thinking the muting relay circuitry of Lyr3 may be another improvement.
Does Lyr3 sound better?
Thatās a subjective question that no one can ever answer for you other than yourself
the community feels the Lyr 3 is better. it works on fixing the issues the original and v2 has. but mm is rightā¦sound is subjective, so you may or may not like what you hear. however, thatās likely because your brain is surprised by something new / different and you will need time to acclimate and see if itās an improvement.
Everytime I think of selling my Lyr 3, I let it warm up and plug in my Empyreans and ask myself why??
Its a really brilliant tube ampā¦

LYR 3 now available in a black finish
Been listening to my old pair of shp9500 on this amp. Sounds better than I remember
Hey thanks for the reply. Here I am just as long apart with my response. That makes sense, Iāll play around with trying to limit the low end reaching the amp.
