  It's unanimous how good the Mjolnir is for the Audez'e line but there are very few here who use it to drive the HD800. The assumption is that it is too lively for the Senn. That is what I found too when I had it paired with the Gungnir. Upgrading to M51 revealed the Schiit dac as the culprit, with the Mjolnir simply presenting the source as is - no gloss, warts and all. With the M51/MJ pairing I get soundstage width, deep but tight low end, explosive dynamics, and zesty upper mids and treble - without the obnoxiously loud and compressed dynamics, and fatigue inducing grain I suffered from the Gungnir/MJ combo.
 
The Mjolnir is a wicked amp for the HD650. It turns a quaint indie film into a balls to the wall action blockbuster. I'm not sure how the HD650 could sound better.


i've started looking at the M51, i have a wadia 121 presently, i just missed out on two units on the sale threads, but audio advisor has a demo on sale, hmmmmmm

 I'm surprised at how good they sound on the Steel. Tried em with a few of my vintage amps and I expected them to be noisy and lacklustre. No such thing, they are actually quieter than my Senn's! They sound full and exciting. I'll never suss this impedance thing out...

Never underestimate the importance of a good chair in your headphone audio rig.  That looks like a damn comfortable chair....thumbs up.


Thanks, those darned LaZBoys are awesome!
