mike-mex: I'll need to wait till Mid December for it to arrive, and end of Dec probably before I can get it built and test it. I'd love a way to blind test!
Asgard, Valhalla, or Lyr?

I used to muck around with electronic kit sets as a young boy, but I haven't soldered in 10+ years. I am told it's very step by step and hard to break, plus apparently it sounds amazing (Though I am prepared to take that with a grain of salt).
I'm looking forward to a project of this nature as a one off over xmas.

Well finally I got my black friday HD 650 deal.... I spent all weekend pairing them with my Valhalla. And here are my results:
After 20 burn in hours the cans started to sound fine, and Valhalla was really powerfull and gave me a very warm and rounded sound.
I used amperex orange globe, telefunken´s and Teslta´s tubes.... I found Teslas tubes the best pair for the hd650. And here is where I´m so thankful with my Valhalla, because gives the chance to roll tubes and experiment to find the best sound for you...
I also have the k-702´s and they sound really good but they seem to be well handdled using the amperex tubes.
´Valhalla is a great tube amp! I am happy with it and would recomend it 100%!
