I know... I have a well worn Hemp myself, and its pads do look different from the new unused set I got as replacements. On the new set I can't even see the cuts, although they are there -- I checked
The hemp pads seems similar to the ttvj deluxe flat, now I have a sr325x with mixed pads. I m not sure but I doubt they can change the sound, should I buy a new pair of pads? Here in Italy a pair of flat cost about 40€!
The Schiit Valhalla 2 is not a great tube amp, imo. I didn’t like it because I found it bright and not so smooth. I prefer my MG Head DT and it works great with my Grados in transformer mode.
Respect mate, but I believe you cannot generalize as it very much depends also on what tubes you are using. I have changed both pairs (soviet Foton 6N6P and Tungsram E88CC) so the sound I have, most surely differs from yours.
Probably RS1i drivers in this eBay listing?
No way they are “original”. If current market price on an RS1i is $300, then what do you think these restomod RS1 buttons will go for? 2days left

I also tried changing the tubes but I stuck with the stock power tubes I think. I tried JJ, EH, and Genalex 6922’s. I didn’t really find it very warm sounding and didn’t keep it.
Also I should mention, I never tried it with Grados.
I heard the Valhalla 2 is going to be discontinued?

Plus, one can use 12AU7 / ECC82 tubes, 12AT7 / ECC81 tubes with adapters in lieu of 6N1P / 6922 / E88CC - a fair amount of sonic adjustment is possible in Valhalla 2.

I'm listening to the original 325 right now, and it is a freaking fantastic tuning. I wish they would bring this back more! I like this better than all their subsequent iterations hands down.

Interesting, I have a pair of buttons that were serviced by grado in Jan 2023, I suspect they had replaced the original drivers with RS-2x drivers. They're getting a lot of my head time. The frequency response is perfect for my ears. I call them my RS-1.5X's.
