T-shirt ordered. Now to wear it to a wine-and-cheese party. I have a monocle around here somewhere, it's really hard to find without my monocle.

Unf*&*&believable. I was listening with the inputs set to SE (didn't see the switch back there, and never heard of an amp where that has to be switched). The sound is now much more powerful. As if it wasn't powerful before. I was listening at like 10-11 before. Now it is very very loud at 9:30. And the amp starts at 7 or so.
Edit: Lawl, yea, it beat my other amps while incorrectly set to SE mode.

Glad you are enjoying it! It's extremely darn good for the price huh?
Now you know why I was hard pressed to be able to mention any of its shortcomings. Other than it being slightly dogmatically vigilant with a certain bright sounding headphone.
It's seriously one the best I've heard next to the Dynahi.

LCD3 + Mjo is outrageously good. There's such powerful bass, texture and detail, beauty...everyone should shoot for this setup. I'm using it with the AudioGD RE-7 DAC and the Audiophilleo1 USB transport.
Also, yeah I expect to be trolled since I said it was real good right off the bat. I can't help it if it's awesome.
Totally agree with what you said. Mjolnir pairs extremely well with my Meridian 508 through balanced connection. I think that the key is to pair it with a good and musical source.

From what I read, the HE-6 isn't (in theory) a good match with the Mjolnir? Any tested that particular combo?

Real time thought process: Pairing the Mjolnir with the pricier LCD-3 compared to a less expensive headphone and more expensive amp seems like an intriguing option. Guess it balances out (pun), but I (you) have a LCD-3 instead.
Hmmmm.
$1500 phones with $1250 amp (already have)
And/or
$2000 headphones with $750 amp
I've been wanting to buy some Schiit lately... I've almost talked myself into it.

Don't judge Schiit by its price. Personally I believe that they can easily price Mjolnir at $1000, and still be considered as a steal.

Has anyone had a chance to listen to a K1000 through one of these yet?

Does anybody, who owns Mjolnir, also own Auditor/Phonitor? I really enjoy the HE-500 with the Auditor but I am curious if Mjolnir is any better.post #869 of 26458/23/12 at 4:35pm- MomijiTMO
