I though I share a riser for my setup. Since I have limited space around my desk, I purchased a monitor riser from Amazon for $24 last night and it arrived at 5 AM this morning. It works great. I am experiencing static when I turn the volume pot. When playing music it is not notable.

Static noise when turning the pot doesn’t happen on mine. Come to think of it, I’ve never had a noisy pot on any of my Schiit gear, except my Magni 3 and only after a few years of use.

I had an issue with a Schiit saga s had a hum and couldn't figure it out. Turns out the TV was right above the pre amp and was causing interference. I put an audiocontrol crossover above it and problem went away.

Why Hemps doesn't sound right on FV? I'm using low impedance and multiplier on.

Hemps become very bright on FV and I might start having a headache.
Also they are not as bassy as on other amps like A90 or Mainline.

Is FV supposed to be the best with Grado?

Nice thing about the FV is it has options, try with multiplier off, even try high gain. You might like it more

I have the Hemps and GS3000e and Folkvangr. The GS3000e sounds very good. Not bright sounding. Haven’t tried the Hemps yet. But I use multiplier on and low gain with the GS3000e. I would think they should be similar. Will try the Hemp and post here.

This might have already been said...but HD600 > HD800S on Folkvangr. Don't @ me.

So some tubes showed up today. A shout out to @jonathan c for the recommendation. I haven’t given them any break-in yet but they already sound like an upgrade from the stock tubes. They’re Tungsram E88CC.

I've tried all options. I don't like it Mainline was so much better with Hemps.

Would love a link if you wouldn’t mind. Would like to try some different options.

Sorry to hear it didn’t work out. What was different?

Received my Folkvangr last Friday, spent some time this weekend going through a few pairs of headphones and comparing the experience. I've read multiple responses saying the Sennheiser HD600/650/6XX pair well with the FV. I realize it's largely subjective based on one's own tastes and experience, but what are some recommended headphone pairings that y'all have found so far?

If there was something with a soundstage and detail similar to a Grado PS1000, but with some more bass impact to back it up, that would pretty much be my audio nirvana.

Drop 8xx I enjoy. Also Grado 60x with ZMF pads and adapter. Grado Hemp with regular 60x pads too. 6xx is okay but not fantastic, though the new pads from Brainwave help.
