Looking forward to seeing you all there! It's been like... 2 or three years since I was on this Forum haha!

Agreed. I've been away for a while but unfortunately I'm not that qualified to answer these questions. RE Valhalla tubes... Have you considered changing tubes? Personally, I believe the Asgard is best for the MS Pro as a sub $300 desktop option. I use a little cmoy for my portable listening...

FYI, Schiit Asgard is Solid State.. 

I have a Schiit Asgard with my MS-Pro's. That's in your budget!!   Personally and especially for the money, I love it. Such a great Amp for the dosh.  I won't babble on about it though- the below reviews say it all.    http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/schiit/1.html  ...

HA! I missed out again. Never mind :)  Hopefully next time I'm on the 8 ball ;) 

Just watched this the other day and noticed the same thing! Interesting.. I wonder what motivated them to use Grado/Alessandro? 

Can't believe, after checking and checking....i walked away for a fortnight and this happened.. LOL. -__-

Well, after having my Schiit Asgard now for 3 months, can I just say....Wow!  I went and invested in an iPod Classic 6.5, Sieben Audio Dock and some high quality shielded RCA cabling to accompany it and my listening experience has been one to savor.  The Asgard really bought out the depth &...

Yea- I'd be happy with that!    Quote:  

I can bring my Alessandro MS-Pro's and Schiit Asgard. Also have a set of MS-1's 

If you DO decide to go with pre-built... I just got my mits on a Schiit Asgard  which is paired with my Alessandro MS-Pro's.... It's amazing value for money...   Just another aspect for consideration ;)    Price point....$250 USD
