Just one. Was thinking the Pure Bipolar/Dynalo Mk2 Susy by Mjolnir Audio (Spritzer) https://www.head-fi.org/threads/mjolnir-audio-pure-bipolar-amplifier.807384/ Have purchased some 6922 tubes for the Geek HPA that I was talking w/ Larry and this came along.

Subbed.. Would this be better than Mjolnir 2 ?

That’s certainly the comparison I’m waiting for. Also anxious to hear about pairings with Auteur & Utopia.

Just got my LP yesterday. When I tired my iFi NOS 6922 (actually 5670), there's a very audible background noise, which did not happen with Schiit Mjolnir 2 before. I wonder if anybody else had tried that?

I have now had a chance to directly compare the Liquid Platinum with the Mjolnir and let me just say that both amps are really good. Each amp has it's particular qualities with the LP being somewhat more musical and laid-back, while the MJ is very resolved and detailed. I used the same set of...

@MattTCG Could you please compare the LP to the Mjolnir 2, just so I can have a point of reference? They are similar in price, both hybrids, and both benefit from balanced output, thus warranting a comparison that I think many would appreciate, including me.

Thanks for the feedback bob. I wish Gumby was not Xbox huge, and schiit had a competitive matching amp, Mjolnir 2’s not aging so well, outclassed by LYR3 and LP. Part of 1541’s appeal is its form factor. From what I gather it’s a Gumby rev1 competitor, don’t know how it stacks up to a2, either...

...with my LP. On power up the red light stayed on, never changing to white. No sound out of any output. The good part is that Monoprice provided excellent support and I RMA'd it for a new unit in less than a week! During the 'Oh crap' period I bought a Schiit Mjolnir just in case! :ksc75smile:

I have both the LP and the Mj2 and have been using both with my Verite for the past month. I find they are both very comparable in terms of performance, yet with slightly different styles. Both offer great stage depth and imaging, resolution, and musicality. The Mj2 has the most impressive...

If I had to choose between one or the other I would pick the MJ2 over the LP owning both with the same tubes. I personally run balanced, I use the MJ2 as a preamp with the LP as amp. This helps with the volume control on the LP, more wiggle room adjusting. I chose this method so I would have 2...

Yeah I hope we’re not gonna end up with a “great deal” that turns out to be chi fi crap.

...I've known him for some years on the Lyr thread. Top notch to deal with. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/price-drop-matched-vacuum-tube-pairs-6922-e88cc-6dj8-ecc88-7308-e188cc-7dj8-pcc88-o-getters-d-getters-some-pinched-waists-tubes-for-lyr2-mjolnir-2-siemens-telefunken-philips-and-more.891579/

Just listening to some Locatelli through one of my favorite affordable planar systems. Amazon Fire HD8+/ Schiit Modius AKM4493/ Cavalli LP/ Hifiman HE4XX. Really like the tone of this system. Non fatiguing..

...audio gear. They remain one of the truly great bargains in this hobby.. Speaking of Schiit, the company just came out with its latest Mjolnir 3 headphone amp. Pure class A bias with the ability to run single ended or push pull... Looking forward to seeing some listening impressions on it. 👍

Thank you. I have a pair of new gold lions from my Mjolnir 2 and I installed them in the LP yesterday. First time out of the box and straight out of an iPhone in SE with an E-MU Teak balanced sounded really nice to me. I couldn’t resist the sale price, so it’s sitting on my nightstand now. I can...

...for replacement on 12/6 and the replacement amp is scheduled for delivery on Mon 12/17 so turnaround for me is between 10 and 14 days. I love the amp too, and hope I have no more problems. If you want to stick with a tube hybrid, the Schiit Mjolnir 2 is an alternative and near the same price.

...far. Pairs well with the HD 600 and aeolus as others have mentioned. Sound is nuanced with a relaxed presentation different from the Schiit Mjolnir I was using before which was more forward with a lot of macro dynamic energy. Monoprice sent the amp with some discount codes. Since I'm not...

...unless you press the release (lever, tab, mechanism ... whatever you call it). Some equipment use them, others don't. For example, The Jot & Mjolnir from Schiit do not, nor do Cayin amps. My ECP DSHA-3F doesn't have them either. Conversely, Benchmark HPA4 does. It's just a design choice...

...goes this replacement LP as well. I am starting to think that this amp is very cheaply made, and I am already thinking of buying the Schiit Mjolnir 2 instead. Why couldn't they just have put an Alps Blue Velvet pot in there, and done it right!! I am happy with Monoprice's customer service...

If you can I'd recommend a MJ 2, has a few positives compared to the LP. Have you tried different tubes to see if it exhibits the imbalance problem?

This situation just sucks. This amp is on my wish list too. I have a Liquid Spark and an LCX and really do like the Cavalli sound. I was looking at buying this but just HAD to scratch the tube itch. Now I am thinking this would finish off my collection. Hhhmmmmm.

...I have some other factors affecting my decision, though, so full disclosure: Other than the cans I own, music tastes, ears etc., I also own a Mjolnir 2, so the LP would be sharing the many pairs of 6922 variants I got from Wes. If I keep the Lyr 3, I'll need to maintain an arsenal of 6SN7s...

...the Lyr 2 or Lyr 3. I'd also point out that the Atticus is bit picky with the amp pairing. I had to roll several days worth of tubes on the Mjolnir 2 until I found the right pair that brought out what the headphone could do. If you have a balanced DAC and are thinking about adding planars...

The hallmark of the mjo2 is macrodynamics. The dynamics with the mjo 2 are some of the best I've heard. The amp has reasonably good tone when NOS tubes are included. It also offers abundant power/driving capacity. But the sound stage has somewhat of a compressed aspect creating a wall of sound...

...along the lines of the hypothetical 800/800S comparison. And oh yes, for fun I visit the Schiitr pretty often, and have listened to the Mjolnir/Gumby combo a number of times. It's really nice but I don't know if I'm crazy about the Schiit house sound from their amps, they all sound a little...
