ks12 I also got my HD600s from razordog for $295 shipped. A great deal from a seller with integrity. No issues whatsoever with the transaction. Enjoy your new cans!

Quote: Thanks Werner.

Question about my Valhalla amp. When I power down the amp after an extended listening session, the power indicator light stays lit for probably 5 minutes or so, slowly dimming (like capacitors are slowly discharging). Is this normal?

A few questions for Valhalla owners or tube experts in general: I just got a Valhalla and am a tube and headphone novice (also just got a new pair of HD 600s). First, what is the preferred method of burning in a tube device like the Valhalla? How long does  burn in take? Do tubes, as they age go...

Thanks for the advice on the feet hodgjy!

$20 refund issued! I feel a whole lot better about the seller and transaction now. Still have to go to Home Depot tomorrow and try to find some stick-on rubber feet (any suggestions would be welcomed). And will be waiting for the transformer from Amazon to arrive next week. Thanks for all of the...

Quote: Yeah, I ordered the transformer from Amazon. Should arrive thur.-fri. time frame next week. Killing me to have to wait another week to start burning in the Valhalla!

Quote: No, it wasn't. I just sent the seller an email telling him my complaints and requesting a refund of $20. I think that would be a reasonable discount.

Just got another email from Jason and he recommended this step-up transformer, less than $17: http://www.amazon.com/Power-Bright-V...7190695&sr=1-3 I tell you when it comes to customer service, Schiit has got theirs together! 

Quote: Well, a couple of issues: there was no power cord ( I have a couple of spares around the house, so no big deal), no stick-on feet (I can get a set from Home Depot), no owner's manual ( I emailed Jason @ Schiit and he emailed me a downloadable copy) and the amp I got is the...

I bought a Schiit Valhalla headphone amp off of eBay and it just arrived. I have an issue I need help with. I paid $308 for the amp shipped, it included an extra set of tubes. The amp appears to be unused, but didn't have have an owner's manual, feet, or a power cord. I emailed Jason @ Schiit...

Thanks, the tracking number says that the Valhalla arrives Wednesday!

A change in plans! Today I found and bought a new Valhalla on eBay with an extra set of tubes for $308 shipped (from Georgia no less hodgjy). Man, I'm stoked! 

Thanks to both hodgjy and IEMCrazy for your helpful replies! I'll probably go with the Asgard (the HD600s are almost certainly my "ultimate destination" headphones and the $100 difference in the prices of the amps is a factor for me at this time). Again, thanks to both of you for your help. 

hodjgy,   I saw where you were thinking about getting a Valhalla amp and I've read your positive comments about the Asgard. I'm trying to decide between the Asgard and Valhalla to power my HD600s. Which amp in your opinion would be one to get? I would be using a Cambridge Audio 640C V.2 cd...

I bought my HD600s from razordog on eBay. He is an authorized Sennheiser dealer and I believe a member of this forum. I got a good price and great service. Highly recommended.

I'm looking for advice on choosing a budget headphone amp (<$200) to use between my HD595s and NAD C162 pre amp. I'm currently looking at these 3: 1) Musical Fidelity V-Can (on sale at Audio Advisor for $169) 2) Pro-Ject Head Box MK. II 3) Creek OBH-11 (several on eBay at decent prices)...

Thanks for the reply Feifan, and congrats on your 800th post! I looked up the specs on your HD650s and noticed the nomimal impedance is 300 ohms, while the HD595 is 50 ohms. Now I am a total novice when it comes to headphones, (my current set of cans is a pair of Senn HD497s) but when dealing...

Hi, a long-time lurker who just registered with a couple of questions for the experts. I currently use a NAD C162 pre amp in my system, I am planning on buying a pair of Sennheiser HD595 phones. I've read that these are easy to drive cans, what percentage of their potential can I reasonably...
