A bunch of my friends and I blind A/B tested the Jotunheim to the Schiit Vali 2 (with 6BZ7 tube and Amperex ECC88/6DJ8 Orange Globe Logo O-Getter tube) with a 3.5mm switcher and we all could tell no difference between the amps.

I’m building a new house and will be doing the electrical in a few months with my father who is a licensed electrician. For the theater room, are you just saying to run a dedicated run from a breaker to the electrical socket that my audio equipment will be plugged into? And then plug my...

Is the general consensus that newly purchased Jotunheims sound better than the older ones? And is this leaning towards confirming that the new Jotunheims use a constant transconductance output stage?

Thank you for the replies! It seems pretty simple now how they're installed.

Does the Multibit DAC card mount vertically still or horizontal? From the pictures, I don't see the pin outs like on the other cards to hook it up, so I'm a bit confused on how it installs and it connected. Are the pin outs on the other side of the card pointing down, and the card mounts...

I disabled the on-board audio right away, and I'm also using the Unified Xonar Drivers. That's interesting. In the Xonar driver I have SPDIF Out checked with PCM. http://puu.sh/yNUMi/d4cc6f492e.jpg

Currently I am using an Asus Xonar Essence STX to feed my Schiit Modi Multibit via TOSLINK. I always see people talking about jitter and whether or not it actually makes a difference. Do you believe the Schiit Eitr would make a slight improvement over the Xonar?

Does anyone think the Schiit turntable will have a phono pre-amp built in? I'm thinking of buying the Schiit Mani, but will wait a bit longer and get the Schiit turntable if it has a a phono pre-amp built in.

Whoever designed the MMCX cable is an absolute idiot. I cut the right angle jack off to terminate an XLR connector to make a balanced cable because I know there's two ground wires. This would make you think they use a separate ground if there's two ground wires at the right angle connector...

Anyone have a wiring diagram for the MMCX connectors?

Does the stock cable have 4 separate wires all the way to the end? Or are the grounds joined together at the Y-splitter? I want to attach a 4-pin XLR to the end to have a balanced cable.

That's what I was trying to say. It ripped off the earcup when I was pulling the earcups off.

Put the Audeze vegan pads on mine today. They're more comfy, but the clamp force is still annoying and hurts my jaw and head after a while. Any way to reduce the clamp force? I've had it stretched on my pillow overnight for a while now and it's still too tight.   Also, when I was pulling one...

Just did this mod and it works great! Used a Sennheiser replacement cable and the same male 4-pin XLR connector used in the guide.   Cable: https://en-us.sennheiser.com/accessories--hd-518--hd-558--hd-598--headphone-cable Male 4-pin XLR...

Didn't know the Jot was a Class A amp.
