Speaking of, if you are done I need to get that back soon. Will have my Mjolnir shipping with the Gungnir I ordered shipping out next week. Only have 15 days to decide on the Mjolnir.
Curious to find if it has changed. I don't see how its possible having run it for around 500 hours, but we'll see.I don't think that I am at the 200 hours of use with the BHA-1 yet.

Didn't get one here or there. Hmm...post #1164 of 26489/9/12 at 8:58pmQuote:Originally Posted by purrin
I have been running the Mjolnir and BA side-by-side for the past four days. The BA kicks the Mjolnir's ass (as it should), but yet I find the Mjolnir, all technicalities aside, very satisfying with its ability to suck me into the music. And this is coming from someone who doesn't listen to solid-state amps (I found them mostly flat and boring sounding). So the Mjolnir's gotta be doing something right (this coming from my completely unreliable subject-to-whatever-whims-or-moods subjective side).I'm curious as to why you would consider selling your BA and replacing it with the Mjolnir when you consider the BA the superior amp?

I mainly listen to my electrostatics now, so I rarely listen to my dynamic headphones. And when I do, it's usually when I'm travelling or helping others tweak and/or measure their headphones.
Also, I need a preamp in the living room. BA in the living does not make a good preamp with young kids around the house.
But you are right, every time I hear the BA, I do not want to sell it. That is why I still have it. I know I'll eventually let it go.
post #1166 of 26489/9/12 at 11:49pmAh, that's definitely understandable. I find I get too attached to gear that has truly made my happy to ever sell it, even if I can't find a near-term use for it. But then again the BA is expensive........ no point tying up all that value if it isn't being used.
I wish I knew what the BA sounded like, it would make a great point of reference.

post #1168 of 26489/10/12 at 9:51pmokay so we know the Mjolnir is still a far cry from the Balancing Act but the real question should be how does it fare against the BA's little brother: the Zana Deux?
Edited by Bolardito - 9/10/12 at 10:07pmpost #1169 of 26489/12/12 at 10:19pmIs there any other feedback on the Mjolnir? Or is everyone waiting to test it with their Gungnir before posting again?
I am very interested in hearing more reviews on the Mjolnir + LCD2 so please share.post #1170 of 26489/12/12 at 10:38pm- paradoxper
