Thanks. I didn't get a hard copy or a link with my H20. I did get the warranty card, though.
My Warranty card is like a real credit card!
Was looking at one of these to go alongside my X20Pro DAC and hoped someone could answer a quick question for me.
Does the preamp output become muted once headphones are connected? The X20Pro has a minor quirk where all outputs are active at once and wasn't sure if the H20 would follow suit.
Cheers,

Correct. I thought I'd made that clear in my post, but perhaps it could be misinterpreted. I answered the question (as posed) in the negative, because the outputs are all active, all the time.After power on, the H20's preamplifier output and headphones outputs are always active.

How would you describe the differences to the Lyr 2? I have tried it with LISST, stock tubes, Gold Lions and National 6922. I preferred the Jotunheim in all cases, though the Gold Lions had some charm. Thanks!I wanted an amp that would drive difficult VERY difficult loads. It sounds terrific and is immaculately constructed. My other "end-game" amp is a Schiit Lyr 2. That's going to do it for me outside of portables. I think the current baseline in this hobby is "buy and flip". I buy and hold. The politics regarding where amps come from or whose economy they help or hinder is of zero interest to me. But I do find some interesting trends in who responds, how and why in these discussions. I know politics is everywhere, but this amplifier (after having heard and owning a number of amps now) is worth a closer look. They also appear to do a decent job of holding their value. That could change if 400,000 of them are manufactured/sold, but if they're all of the quality that mine represents, that'll be a worst case 400,000 satisfied customer knowledge base. I like mine a lot.
