Interesting, while I did consider the Valhalla 2, I was skeptical about it for two reasons. First, I love the clean analytical sound of Solid State Amps, and second, it has 4 tubes, which would come out to a higher expense to replace or upgrade them.
I was planning on going with the Asgard 2 until I found out that I would be required to pay tax, which killed a lot of value for me. After quickly browsing Amazon, I found the Lyr 2 for $325 on Amazon in "Like New" condition. So I went with that, and considering it is a hybrid amp, I think it will introduce me to tube sound while still retaining my beloved solid state cleanness I love.
Thanks for your suggestion though.
Oh okay. Congratulations on your Lyr 2! May I suggest some some Amperex Orange Globes, preferably from the '60s? They sound lovely with the HD-650.
