    Schiit Mjolnir 2 Listening Impressions

    Question, please?   The only other headphone amp I am considering today other than the MJOLNIR 2 is an Oppo HA-1.   Any possible chance someone here has experience with both?   My current cans are Sennheiser HD700s current amp a Lyr 2 (which I luv) and most enjoy acoustic music like Bosa...

    Schiit Mjolnir 2 Listening Impressions

    Regarding M2 or Lry 2 tubes, for my two cents which comes far from a tube-a-phile I bought a Lyr 2 a year ago, did a bunch of research to get a collective 'can't go wrong with these tubes' and settled with buying a pair of TELEFUNKEN E88CC / 6922 from UpscaleAudio.com.   The man who owns the...

    Headamp Blue Hawaii Special Edition

    I don't like the idea which Grant suggests that any tube products labeled with the same Grade A specification from either Shuguang or Psvane, tubes which have been tested and deemed inferior to others, are then sold to companies with a less "cool kids" status than Grant has. What respectable...

    Headamp Blue Hawaii Special Edition

    One tube from my quad of Psvane EL34PH's also crackled untouched then 'clipped' wildly upon the softest tap to its top when I went to reproduce what had tripped my amp off. Kinda unnerving for a $400 set of newly manufactured tubes with less than 150 hours on them to perform like this, and...

    Headamp Blue Hawaii Special Edition

    For those interested in the Psvane EL34PH's my experience with them ended at 140 hours when one of the four tubes crackled then flashed with a loud pop, tripping my 2013 Jolida 320CRC, off. Two other brands of tubes with about 500 combined hours had no issues with the same amp, all using the...

    jcx, In this thread there is an ongoing interest in the new WE from Psvane (of which there are all of two reviews on the net regarding their EL34) and TheAttorney mentioned fuses.

    Headamp Blue Hawaii Special Edition

    Hello Attorney, you may yet be proven completely mad, to be fair. On topic, today I took delivery and installed a Hi-fi Tuning Supreme fuse (pure silver, gold, cryo, and their latest model @ USD$60 ea.). It was as if I had moved my couch out of the living room and into a measured, sound treated...

    Pavane EL34PHs have arrived. Four days total transaction time from eBay purchase > ship from China > arrive Isle of Man, UK. DHL $43 USD, not too shabby.

    Headamp Blue Hawaii Special Edition

    Will do. Been experimenting with different fuse brands and schemes this week while I wait for the EL34PH quads to arrive. My initial findings on the fuses are the AMR golds are too dark and laid back for my taste in both the Wireworld main leads to the amp and digital source, and when swapped...

    Hi thanks, we floundered our pit stops on the Aprilia in both races which cost us loads of time but more importantly yes, Michael Czysz staying home for a sudden need of chemotherapy was a huge shock for all of us being he's a healthy 40-something, I hope he recovers soon. Super cool my teammate...

    AKG Q701 authenticity: am I getting a fake?

    Hi,    Any chance of an update with regard to amplifying and breaking in your Q701s properly?   I've had a pair of Q701s for one week now, being under-powered by an Apogee Duet 192k DAC but with a Burson amp on the way.   The AKGs at 80 hours still sound horrible in every department...
