    Norne Audio (Was: Norse Audio): Feedback & Impression Thread

    @Naimthatune , absolutely, Trevor can make you a silvergarde adapter in whatever length you would like. Reach out to him. If it were me, especially with that high end of a cable and headphone, I would want the the matching cable adapter as opposed to using some other cabling.

    Norne Audio (Was: Norse Audio): Feedback & Impression Thread

    Had this cable for a year or better but was browsing this thread, saw a few pics of Volsund cables and was inspired to show off mine. I love the color combo of this cable, as soon as I saw an example of this color combo I knew it was what I wanted, still love just as much to this day. Can't...

    Just received a Volsund in the same colors for my Clears. Really a beautiful combo!

    Norne Audio (Was: Norse Audio): Feedback & Impression Thread

    Don't forget to take into account that the cost of a Draug Silver is probably almost as much as a pair of Focal Clears :beyersmile:

    Lyr 3 - The new Coherence™ and Continuity™ hybrid amplifier from Schiit - Impression & discussion thread

    Winders was saying that the tube is not considered a bad boy... here is a pic of one... The Sylvania VT-231 is a nice tube and a lot of people really enjoy them, though it cannot be considered a bad boy... the real bad boy's were only made for a year or two i believe ('52 - '53 ?) have the...

    Schiit Lyr 3 Tube rolling thread.....

    Yeah i wouldn't worry much about it...honestly in the lyr 3 with hd650 i prefer the Sylvania's to the Raytheon... they are great tubes but they mostly pull duty in the gain stage of freya powering jot and my nearfield monitors, that's where i find them to be best.

    Schiit Lyr 3 Tube rolling thread.....

    So far my favorite with HD650K and LCD2C is Sylvania 3 hole BB or Raytheon VT-231, and with my HE560 is kenrad VT-231 staggered plates or RCA VT-231 grey glass. Let me know how the Sylvania 6sn7w goes, i have yet to hear any of them!

    Schiit Freya Impressions and Tube Rolling Thread

    Using the LISST in output stage, my usual gain stage tubes are ken rad vt231 staggered plates, the raytheon vt231 T, sylvania 6sn7gt, and rca vt231 grey glass. So far ive really only listened to the raytheons and i feel that having the lisst in output it really accentuates the gain tubes even...

    Schiit Freya Impressions and Tube Rolling Thread

    Decided to try a pair of Octal LISST to try in the output stage of Freya (normally keep Sylvania VT-231 in output stage as they seem to be a really great/transparent tube for output) and from my initial listening this evening it seems like a great combo... what ever tube being used in the gain...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    I haven't read through the rest of this thread to see if anyone else has suggested it yet, so sorry i'm repeating a suggestion but perhaps just reinforcing it... the Schiit Jotunheim (get a balanced cable for hd650 and run on high gain) is an excellent choice that has great synergy with the...

    Schiit Freya Impressions and Tube Rolling Thread

    I know this exactly the appropriate to place to do this... but i'm haven't gotten any different tubes to try in Freya in quite a while and still have a few on my list... so thought i would ask if anyone has any they are willing to get rid of... Looking for pairs of: Raytheon 6SN7GT VT-231...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    Schiit Jotunheim is damned hard to beat with hd650, especially modded 650's... even more awesome with a good tube preamp feeding it! :) (Been loving my Gumby/Freya/Jot/HD650K for awhile now, hasn't left me wanting more) I ordered a pair of the Dekoni Elite Hybrids...listened to them for a few...

    Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV

    Well i'd say your main difference and benefit is the extra power you get which generally tends to make most headphones sound better (IME more controlled and dynamic among other things)

    Schiit Freya Impressions and Tube Rolling Thread

    A remote control... and an awesome tube buffer to add some wonderful flavor to the Jot... i love my gumby / freya / jot combo with he-560 and hd650km. Source is a PC with Lynx E22.

    So bummed... after having one of my '52 Sylvania 6SN7GT 3 holes die on me i began searching for another pair or quad... found a guy selling 3 of them...said they tested well but had not actually put them in an amp/preamp to test for noise and the like so i offered him $50 before i go to bed...

    Schiit Freya Impressions and Tube Rolling Thread

    Yes i had the same issue with the manual that came with my freya a month ago, said front and back instead of left and right... the printed copies we received are incorrect... the copy online saying left and right is still correct.
