Schiit Hits the Fan! Valhalla 2, Lyr 2 announced, Wyrd and Mani Previewed.
I don't think it implies that they won't ship. I think what it means is that if you have a problem and you bought direct then you would need to send it back to them for repair and not to the UK distributor.- stedes

Shure SRH1540 Review
So...update my fellow headfiers... I brought home a Valhalla 2 and tried it out. It was fairly new with under 10 hours of use. First impressions, compared to coming off straight from a MacBook were good. Clearer sound, more power, bigger soundstage. Listened to with the Shures a bit, but...- stedes

Shure SRH1540 Review
Do you think the Valhalla 2 will be ok? Reason I'm asking is that I've been offered one locally for a very good price that's only a couple of weeks old (buyer remorse) by a colleague (I've looked at invoices etc)?- stedes

Have had a pair of HD650s running mainly off the headphone output of a either a Classe CP-800 or a old Audible Illusions L-1.

Hello everyone - Old Headphone user coming back to cans
Thanks Matt I understand what you're saying but comfort wise I'm far from happy and I'm not sure what I can do to the 650s to make them more comfortable. I have never come across anyone with the Lyr so will try to audition...somewhere somehow. Did you also upgrade cables? S- stedes

Hello everyone - Old Headphone user coming back to cans
Hello everyone - I thought I would do a long introduction...sorry if it's too much! I have been a member of the forum for some time, with a long absence. After a long time of moving around, new jobs, marriage, the big C twice and a little girl I'm slowly coming back to the world of hifi...- stedes

"The perfect amplifier would be straight gain"- Agree or disagree?
In my opinion....the perfect amplifier is the one which gets me closer to that state of nirvana, between awake and floating when I listen to the music I like to listen to. In other words...it's a completely personal thing. An amplifier is just a means to an end. I disagree with the notion that...- stedes

Hey ashwindsharma, Nice to see you're using a similar (future) setup to mine. I've just ordered a D10 to use with my HD650s. First amp/dac for headphones ever. How do the HD650s sound with the D10...mine's on the way and I can't wait!- stedes

Hey Guys... Just wondered what you thought regarding the D10 used with HD650s...Currently away from my Audible Illusions L1 (used as a head amp) and feeling that anything will be an improvement. Need a dac as well as amp so specs wise it looks just spot on... Any comments appreciated.- stedes
