Have those can's always had a bit of treble harshness in your opinion?  I auditioned the Rev 1 (have heard the Rev 2 but on Woo gear, not my own) with my system but found them to be very natural, more akin to a HD650 on steroids, smooth, 3D, rich, organic.  I'm all tubes, DAC through amp though.  Just wondering if most people thought they had a bit of a treble spike to them.  Congrats on the UCLA attendance btw, almost went to Berkeley but the tuition was out of this world if you're not in-state.  Looks like I need to get my hands on a Rev 1...

Personally I think they sound very good together. I had a chance to switch back and forth with another member's Lyr (and try various different tubes) and the best I heard the Lyr sound was as good as the Asgard but not better (all of course IMO, and I also typically don't listen very loudly). Still want to try a Mjolnir though.

This is Positive Feedback's editor's well-known system (http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue51/lamm.htm). Go away for a weekend and watch things go trollalololololollling downhill. :(

Bought the NAD M51 as a DAC / pre amp to some active speakers - but before I move it over to it's planned position, I put it in the head-fi rig. Hm. It might be there longer than I planned.

Wow those two pieces of equipment aesthetically compliment each other a lot more than I was expecting, nice rig!  Pic of the speakers?  Or we can wait till you've got them permanently settled for the full visual effect...

Locally in Norway: http://www.hifiklubben.no/produkter/stereo/da-konverter/nad_m51_da-konverter.htm. Price in USD is 2100 and EUR is 1600.

They just got a new batch into the stock after quite some time - and I jumped it.

Actually looks really good together.

What an awesome combo. And you consistently take some of the most beautiful pictures. 

As I see a lot of Norse Cables here,I just received my adapter cable(LCD2 Moon Audio chain mail8  cable adaptor to Hifiman HE500)and it is a huge upgrade in sound compared to the HE500 silver stock cable.

Will post pics later...just wanted to say that Norse is really UP THERE!
 

^^ Thanks. The initial impression is that the M51 sounds a tad meatier than the V800. Which one I prefer is uncertain p.t. The Mjolnir is not a bright sounding amp. Quite surprised by how well the Mjolnir performs with the LCD-3 and LCD-2.

That might be a Q cable
