I hope you noticed that I have been trying to keep the secret! :L3000:

I agree that these are truly something special. Thanks AC as always much appreciated. The Fotons and Istoks are simply great!

The reason that I had to remove the main board is because the stand off that I received did not have a stud on one end but was threaded on both ends with a screw for each end do I had to remove the main board to get the screw in from the bottom.

It's warms my heart to see a man that gets into his work....:beerchug:

With your tube collection I really don't think that you will ever regret getting the MJ2. I had the Lyr2 and Bimby and while it was a very good combo I have really noticed a difference with the MJ2 and Gumby.

Once you get everything open you will see that it's pretty straight forward. Just carefully line up the pins and socket from DAC to mainboard and push down.

I concur with @roshambo. I had the Lyr2 and upgraded to the MJ2 and to my ears their was an improvement. However, any thing sound related is subjective and YMMV. But I do not think that you would be disappointed in the upgrade.

I can't post any pics because I've already done the MB upgrade to Jot. However, here are the steps that I did to do it. 1. Remove the volume knob (1/16" hex driver) then the nut and washer behind the volume knob. 2. Remove all the screws in the back (phillips head screw driver) 3. Remove the...

Well, I'll know shortly. My MB module for the Jot shipped today. Should have it in a few days.

Just a screw driver and something to remove the nut behind the volume knob.

Remove the volume knob and the nut and washer behind it. Then remove all the screws in the back. Slide the top cover forward to unlock and you will see where to install the dac.

These are some interesting times for Shiit....always improving.

They also have a multibit option for the Jotunheim.

Well I'm lost and can't find my way out.....:L3000:

Finally received the Mjolnir and have been running it in for about 5 days. Yesterday I received my adapters for the Ken Rads. Only about 15 hours on them but I really enjoy them. Will be doing a lot of tube rolling this week. The Mjolnir only as about 100 hours on it so every listening session...

I hope that I don't burn it up....I don't get it until Friday! First ones in are the russians that I got from AC.

These are the ones that I bought...They are the ones we are talking about....right? https://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-6N3P-396a-6385-2C51-ECC42-Tubes-FOTON-1960s-NOS-QTY-2-/263537055129?hash=item3d5c085599&rmvSB=true

It will be interesting to find out when I get them. Thanks guys.

I got the last pair after reading everyone's posts. Hope I did good...

Just got my tracking number for a Mjolnir 2 that I ordered Feb 20th. So anyone wanting to get one should order soon as they are in stock again. Life is good again as I had sold my Lyr 2 and just been using a Jotunheim. I have been running TUBELESS!!!

Got my FedEx tracking number today for a Feb 20th order....woo hoo!

That is good news...looks like they might catch up their backorders. I think I ordered 5 days after you. So maybe I will be getting a shipping notice in the next few days. Thanks for posting.

I see that they updated the website today for the Mjolnir 2 to: Status: In stock. Orders placed now will ship in 1 - 3 business days. Maybe I will get mine soon.

I think that I read in one of the other threads that Jason mentioned that they were hoping to catch up most of the back orders this next week of March 6th. Hope so, as I didn't order my Mjolnir 2 until Feb 20.

Very good news....looks like the boards have arrived and been checked. Hopefully I will get a shipping notice in the next few days as they catch up.
