Thanks, let me know how you like VC on Mjolnir 3. I am considering getting more ZMF cans down the line 😉.

Nice, I am currently enjoying mine paired with a Bifrost 2/64 (will be upgrading to a Yggdrasil MIB next year). I have my ZMF AO that just arrived today hooked up to it. Enjoying them on the Mjolnir 3 thus far.

Once I swap the pads I have, I will give those a try as well. :wink:

I made the decision to try them stock first, and I will start pad swapping later on. Edit: Admittedly with the exception of using a Gravedigger Corpse Cable. :grin:

I have another pair to try as well.

Way ahead of you, I have been reading this thread for several months before I made my purchase! :wink:

Thank you. They are the canare wood, and yes I used a flash due to my room not being well lit.

On the bright side, they sound great on my Mjolnir 3 thus far.

That is just the ting, the box was 100% intact. The other thing is that the rods are bent evenly on both sides. lol

Is it hard to replace the rods?

Congrats!

I just sent ZMF a message with pictures, and I will see what they say next week.

Unfortunately they might be. I am going to contact ZMF on Monday and ask about that.

Thanks, and now the break in / burn in period begins! :grin:

My pair finally arrived!

The Arya Stealth is very revealing when it comes to bad recordings, so some of those "sibilance" warnings might stem from that. Your chain will also play a huge part in how they ultimately sound to you. If your setup leans towards an uplift in the treble region then that will not help things...

The Jotunheim 2 is sort of the jack of all trades when it comes to hard to drive planar headphones. Is it the best?! No, but it does a really good job getting you closer than most at its price point. Below a $1,000 I don't think that you can get much better.

Interesting that you preferred the ef499 over the ef500, but personal preference is everything in this hobby. Thanks for confirming my suspicions regarding the ef499. I would have been surprised if it didn't drive SN v2 well considering what Hifiman designed that unit to power. Granted that I...

Listing to this on a Bifrost 2/64>Mjolnir 3>Moonlight chain, seems fitting :wink:: To answer the question a few comments back, yes push/pull & high gain are flipped on.

Over on HG, it seems a few people are having to throw a lot of power at the Horizon headphones. Several people are turning to speaker amps for that one. They are finding that is more difficult to drive than the SN v1 and closer to the HE6SE. I won't have a pair until some time next year as I...

Those of us who have tried SN v1 and/or v2 on speaker amps are not saying that you have to use a power amp to make them sound good. The point is more about trying to get the most out of the headphone (particularly in the lower frequencies, but not exclusively). I recently started spending more...

Depending on the reviews, it might be a competitive offering at that price point.

I just got my AO shipping confirmation, so hopefully by early next week I will have them in hand. 😁

My ZMF AO shipping confirmation just arrived. So I guess I will be able to try them out on my Mjolnir 3 in the near future. 😂
