Another of my many Vali updates.  I posted earlier that I gave my Vali to my son when he started back at college to match up with a pair of  HD-600s and kept my old Asgard 1 to run my HE400s.  For me it was a gigantic difference going back to the Asgard and after 3 days I had to ask for it...

Hey all, another update on the Vali.  Originally I had a series of postings concerning microphonics issues I had with an early issue amp (#126).  I returned it to Schiit and got a great, no noise replacement (#634).  The new amp sounded and performed great.    The reason I'm posting is I just...

I have tried the vali with HE-400s and it sounds terrific, better than my HD600s.

Got my ear pads from the latest run today and the quality is exceptional.  Modulor you do a great job, thanks man.  Now looking forward to an extended listening session.

I have HE400s and while I don't have a Magni I do have an Asgard 1.  Beyond a doubt the HE400s sound much better with the Vali.  My HD600s, on the other hand, like the Asgard better. 

I'd like to make another update on my Vali experience since it has been positive in the long run.  I returned my first unit because I had a problem with a strong ringing in my right channel.  The ringing was persistent.  I returned my amp and got a new one which has worked perfectly for over a...

Hey guys, one more update on my Vali experience.  I just received my replacement amp from Schiit and it is working beautifully.  My original amp would develop a constant ringing in the right channel after powering up for 10 minutes or so even when it was completely isolated from any vibration. ...

This is an update to a post I made on Saturday concerning an issue I noticed with the Vali I had just received.  As it turns out my unit has a continuous strong ring in the right channel that develops slowly (within 10 minutes) after the amp is turned on.  This occurs with the Vali isolated from...

I have both the HD600 and HE400 running off a new Vali and I really love this new amp.  It matches up well with both but it makes my HE400 really shine.  My normal amp is an Asgard 1 and I like the Vali better.  You won't be disappointed using it with either one.  I am using an uber Bifrost as...

Just got my Vali less than an hour ago and started testing it out with HE-400s.  So far so good.  However after the first track I played I ran into the issue Sopp has.  My right channel had a steady ring while the left was silent.  Turning it off cleared the ring.  I'm hoping this isn't a...

Holy Schiit, talk about karma.  I've been lurking this thread and following the news on the upcoming Valli and I've been very tempted to order one to try with my HE 400.  But with the holidays coming up I was figuring buying anything for myself might be a little too selfish.  Besides my Asgard 1...

Very Cool. 

Yep, that's the doc I was referring to.  It is not long but was enough to get me through the process.  GL.

This happened to my son's headphones after 4-5 years and I was easily able to fix them.  First do a search for the k701 manual and parts list.  This will have directions on how to disassemble the phones.  AKG still sells replacement cables for cheap so I just got the part number (#0110E0287) and...

LOL that was bad news.  Live and learn I guess.
