I ended up selling the valhalla2.... was fun experimenting with tubes, but I organically shifted to my magnius/modius stack. I think there is room for the Valhalla2 for the collector and experimenter, but for me, my tastes are largely pedestrian and I'm happy with my LCD-3/Mod/Mag stack.

I moved from iPhone to Android and no longer need this rather exceptional cable. I used it for only a few hours, maybe 5 tops. It is in like new condition, but no box or papers. Price includes CONUS shipping and PayPal G&S. OBO! Thanks for looking!

I'm moving these nearly new low hours IFI components. The new Zen DAC V2 and the Zen CAN. I purchased several dac/amp combos and am thinning the herd based on what I organically lean toward. These pieces sound exceptional with my EE ValkMK2 IEMs as well as my Audeze LCD-3s. As part of the...

Yes, I'm in this boat. I'm an amateur radio operator and balanced lines are great (required) for LONG runs from the attic to the radio, via a balun. I'm talking 100ft of line from dipole to my antenna tuner. In fact, it is required for old houses like mine where RFI is harsh with older wiring...

If you asked me this when I first got the valhalla, I'd say: the magnius is great for my EDM, the Valhalla2 is great for vocals/classic rock. At this point, I don't plug into the magnius all that much as I dig the way the valhalla2 affects soundstage for any type of music. I'm questioning...

I don’t have an answer for you, but the valhalla2 even with stock tubes, changed my life. I’m driving the lcd-3s with this setup via the möbius dac. I also have the magnius which is also damn good. I have a smattering of old us and Russian tubes to eventually try.

Reduced from 100 to 90

reduced price from 1100 to 1050

I have a pair of the 2021 XCs -- I will give them a listen too.

I picked up the valhalla2 used from a Reddit member, should be here on Monday, along with a bunch of tubes. I can’t wait to try them with my LCD-3s.

I run the LCD-3 for my home phones. I recently purchased the 2021 LCD-XC for my return to the office to be respectful of my office mates. As it turns out, I will be working from home for the foreseeable future and will no longer require this second set of cans. I have under 50 hours on them...

Hi, this was the first cable I purchased to get my feet wet with balanced architecture. I've since purchased many others and would like to offer this one up for sale. It is a wonderful entry level cable that I've treated gently and never brought it out of the house for use. I paired it up with...

I am loving this pair up… LCDs come alive without eq.

Is there anything the W2 can't do? I am relaxing down in the family room and had my LCD-3s nearby and decided to throw them into the W2. The vocals remain elegant, and bass presence is stepped up running Normal EQ and Low Gain. Volume at 80. I'm not giving up my desktop amp, but still sounds...

I went for the yellow gold…

I have found no value in mixing up my mobile and desktop rigs to support MQA after early deep dive. I may revisit in the future but I suspect that will provide null benefit as my hearing is not improving as I age.

FiiO FD5 :: Full kit, original packaging, removed several tips that I actually tested, the rest are untouched. Box is excellent. They have about 20 hours of listening on them. $245 Price includes USPS CONUS shipping & PayPal G&S. I have solid trade reputation on Reddit and Facebook including...

I could stand to loose more than a few lbs, but I took his post as a comment on fashion which I found humorous. If it were fashionably acceptable in NYC, fanny packs really take care of a lot of problems. Those in England though use fanny to describe something else IIRC.

I’m po’ed. I received the ddhifi usbc to lightning connector. It was exceptional and solidly built. I left it in the W2 and then slipped both into my pocket and proceeded to walk from my office to the train station. When I sat down in the train, the w2 was at the perfect spot in proportion to my...

I was thinking low profile velcro should do the trick. https://www.amazon.com/VELCRO-Brand-Fasteners-Perfect-4in-Tape/dp/B0013AIAQ2

All set up— this will be my WFH rig for a long time. I picked up the ifi 4.4 cable while I was there.

Another reason why the W2 wins. Perfect fit in the EE case plus two extra adapter cables. Commuting sucks less now. Note the new ddhifi cable tucked in there.

nice-- Audio46 is close to my office in NYC, stopping by tomorrow.
