I am fairly certain this thread will not be updated. David Mahler did an amazing amount of work to put up the original and made it pretty clear that he was not looking to go the the process again. If you look at his profile he hasn't even been on since May of last year. A new comparison would...

Be careful, I've definitely gotten some crap tubes off eBay sold as NOS because most people don't have the gear to test them. Contesting a sale is always a pain too

It sure would be awesome to get a concrete release date and some impressions before the hype train leaves the station on Q5 mkii haha

Did I miss a confirmed release date or is it still just expected Dec. this year?

Why even comment? Haha

When will these be available for purchase? Sign me up!!!!

Why do I want a pair? Because they look like and incredible headphone with great craftsmanship and well above something I can afford as I am expecting a new baby in July (my first). All of my previous audio budget will be pumped into something else beautiful and potentially loud haha. I'm not...

This is outside the point of the discussion but there was a period around 2011-12ish when Senn dropped the hammer and the HD-650 and many other of their products snapped back to full MSRP.  For a few years  you almost never saw them on sale.  Street price was similar to today's prices before the...

Aside from the last post, this thread seems mostly dead but I'm all for a revival!!! What speakers, DAC/Amp, transport are you using?  Here is a pic of my system as it stands now, it's missing the Schiit Mjulnir which has since moved back into the living room.     Music Hall mmf 5.1 >...

  If it ain't broke... I came across this table on my local CL for $100 and it was a close call to unseat my mmf 5.1.  Admittedly it was waaaaay underpriced with the Black Widow tonearm and V15 cart.  New styli are still available from a couple companies as well.  

I have never understood exactly what the topic of this thread is?  Keyboards, mice that make noise through headphones, speakers, Vidar, Norse mythology - we got it all.  Waiting for some Schiit stuff named after Valkyries - she was one of my favorite Marvel characters. True, this has become...

How about we all pause this convo. and get back on topic!

Schiit plays well with speakers...

yikes! guess I hit a nerve

It's all subjective so lets remember bot to be too absolute on speakers > headphones.  As you can see from my PFP I am big into the speaker game, but the cos/performance ratio for headphones is typically more favorable in my experience.  I love the actual feel of the music speakers produce but I...

Thanks for clarifying! I thought this was the case but didn't want to spread wrong information.  I owned a DV 337se for many years (and the pic is still in my signature) I remain a huge fan.  Cheers!!!

Not to stir schiit up BUTTTTT...   I can see how that got your heckles up! The 339 is FAR from a new design or FOTM,  The Darkvoice 337/337se have been around for many years and the 339 is the next evolution there.  It is an ass-kicker of a design and stood the test of time.  If anything I...

I know there have been a few suggestions for dealing with this but another (and a good general audio practice to get into) is to turn the volume all the way down before unplugging/plugging.     Turning down before switching inputs on any amp is a great habit to get in and turning the volume...

It looks great!

  Is that powder coat you used on the transformer and top plate?

You can buy a switch, often called a line router.     Mapletree makes a very nice one that you would never feel the need to upgrade: https://hollowstate.netfirms.com/otherproducts.htm   But I am sure you would do just fine with a mono price or something similar for much less...

So I have been absent from Head-Fi for a while... Seems like Multibit is the real deal huh? Anyone send in a Gungir for upgrade or do a side-by-side comparison and have thoughts on the difference?

In the USA it is one of three songs: "A Wonderful Christmas Time" by Wings, Mariah Cary's "All I Want for Christmas is You" or every R&B Singer Ever's version of "This Christmas"  haha
