I would highly recommend the JAN, I have one. You can get them brand new NOS on eBay, $19.99

I’ve had a sleepless night and been listening to the Vali 3 all night. I swapped out a few 6922’s with the adapter and listened with the 5670’s as well. I had purchased a GE 5 star 5670 and a JAN GE 5670. So, I’ve come to a different conclusion that the 5670’s sound much better to my ears. I’m...

I think it sounds great with the 6922; better than the 5670. I have a few different 6922’s, so I’ll be trying them all out.

Running a 6922 Genalex Gold Lion with adapter.

If you want to spend a little more than $99; I would recommend the Audio-Technica ATH-M50X for $149. These are very good headphones for the price.

Just got a Vali 3 myself. Is the 396A really worth $100? I see the 2C51 is only $19.95.

Yeah, I was thinking of that too. How about these from eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/274836712584

These look nice: https://www.ebay.com/itm/274836712584

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256804743629210.html Does this look like a good deal? or this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004541302260.html

OK, so the one I see from Garage 1217 works both ways. Is that the right one? The 6922 to 5670?

Thanks. If you already have this adapter or have ordered one; can you tell me where you got it from? Thanks

Could someone just confirm that I would need a 6922 to 5670 adapter to run 6922 tubes in the Vali 3. Thanks

I have the Loki Mini+ too. I had contacted Schiit about the heat from the Loki. They said it’s normal for it to get very warm and sometimes hot, but it won’t cause any problems.

Not to worry about the amp getting very warm, it’s normal. I’ve had mine for a long time and never had a problem. Your Liquid Spark is not defective. Enjoy the Music.

Thanks. Just checked Amazon. They do have a replacement driver for 24.50, I’ll probably give it a shot. Thanks again.

Just dropped my 371’s and damaged the left driver. They are out of warranty. I’ve contacted AKG to see if they sell a replacement driver that I could install myself. I’m good at soldering if that is needed. Has anyone else repaired the 371 with this kind of problem? Just curious. Thanks Update...

These must be very new. This new Atom 2 has a lot more power, looks interesting. Not sure if anyone has them yet.

Just ordered the HE-R9 as well. I already have a pair of the Sundara Closed Back that were a bargain at $149, I like them a lot. Great headphones.

I just got a pair of the Sundara Closed Backs. Really nice headphones. Sound great, but definitely need an amp to sound good. You can’t go wrong for just $149.

Does anyone know of an alternative ear pad replacement for the Austrian Audio headphones? I spent the $70 for the ear cushion replacement kit and the ear pads started tearing apart in 3 months. I refuse to spend $70 every few months for ear pads. It was the same problem when I got the headphones...

I had the impression that it was a balanced amp. Thanks for the correction.

Your welcome. Hope the new headphone cable will solve the problem.

Yes, the balanced headphone cable with XLR connection should definitely work since you are connecting to the balanced inputs on the Midgard.

So, if you are using the XLR inputs on the Midgard and plugging in your headphones into the single ended output, that may be causing a problem. Try connecting to the unbalanced inputs RCA, that should work. Do you have RCA Cables?

Are you using the balanced inputs,XLR, on the Midgard as your input signal?
