    Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread

    During the Schitt Livestream yesterday Jason Stoddard said that sales of the MJ3 are good, and it should be available for some extended period of time, but they are going to continue to manufacture them in smaller size batches. I would guess "250". Consequently, as he said, the availability of...

    Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread

    Please excuse me for such pointless speculation, but I wonder if this product will be available for sale longer than some other products. One would guess that Schitt will continue making batches of 250 as long as they can sell them. The big question is: how many people in the world would want...

    Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread

    I understand enough about this product to know that it is exactly the sort of odd product that I really want to own. But with merely a pair of Sennheiser HD660S headphones, it would be a waste for me. I should be thinking about getting some S2 headphones, instead. But this "class A" amp sounds...

    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    Yes, something like that. And then those changes meant that they needed more electricity, more "ohms", to push the heavier materials (?). That's essentially what I am wondering about.

    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    I will phrase this as a statement, but, in fact it is a question. Is this maybe true ? The biggest difference between the HD660S and the HD660S2 is that Sennheiser abandoned the idea of trying to make the HD660 be headphones for smartphones. That is to say, moving down from 300 ohms to 150...

    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    They are your ears. But that sounds like the worst doctor’s advice possible. It may work, but the other result will be that you are deaf, perhaps.

    Where did you get those « spacers » between the units ? What name would find them on Google ? Thanks.

    Schiit Asgard 3 - Impressions Thread

    I don’t know, but I would be careful about that. I saw a story in here, somebody set their PC to 10% or something, and their Jotunheim to max, and they let it run for 12 hours, thinking this would be a good way to « break in » the Jotunheim. And after that… they had to send it (the Jotunheim)...

    Schiit Asgard 3 - Impressions Thread

    I may have a preference for my Lyr 3, but sometimes the Lyr 3 is a bit too much. I swapped out the Lyr 3 this morning, and I am listening to the Asgard 3 tonight. It's such a even handed and fine amp, the Asgard 3.

    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    Being sarcastic, but not entirely untrue, I have always regretted that my HD660S were not 300ohms. I spent all this money on Schitt headphone amplifiers, and at only 150ohms being needed, I couldn’t really be sure that I couldn’t do the same with an iPhone.

    Discover a new world of sound: Make way for the IE 200

    I don't have anything else like the IE200s. The closest thing I have is the free ones I got with my iPhone ... so for 150 Dollars, I will almost certainly get these.

    Beatles "Revolver" 2022

    It appears that "Apple Corps", which is a different company than "Apple Computers", has spent a bit of money to cleanup and improve the album "Revolver". A 2022 version. They used something called "De-Mix Technology" "Giles Martin", I can only imagine that must be George Martin's son. They...

    Official Schiit Vali 2 Thread

    The thing is is that there is some difference. Even you say « nearly identical », not « identical ». But it’s not really a lot. I would say just try to forget about it, but won’t that be hard ? Wouldn’t you be curious to hear with your own ears how much of a difference there is ? But if you can...

    Schiit Audio Bifrost 2

    And you have done a test with a PC, not to an iPhone, to make sure that doesn’t work either ? I ask because I have never had any problem with a PC.
