I tried HE6SEV2 with the fv, not good as expected. You can do some planars but need to be more reasonably efficient to not lose all the bass. For example Sundara sounded better with this amp

My he-500 also did well with the impedance multiplier engaged.

I have probably said it before, but the Folkvangr/Gungnir combo is excellent for watching movies on the laptop.
The closeness to the screen combined with the extra dimension added due to the spacious sound is fantastic.
Lyr3/Bifrost2 is great too (I know I’ve said that before in other threads), but FV/Gungnir extends that extra dimension even further.

I once asked Schiit whether I should upgrade my gungnir to yggy for FV. They told me no need and the difference would be minimum and might not be noticable on FV. They haven't upgrade gungnir for 5 years since they are just so good.

However, I still couldn't control my itch and bought a local used yggy og.

Folkvangr has official sold out! Figured it would pretty quickly after Passion For Sound's interview with Jason.

Wow, amazing. Assuming it ships, I got the B-stock silver one a day or two before they sold out. Phew!

Interesting....I looked just over an hour ago and it was still there. Very glad I got mine, though in hindsight ordering within an hour of going live was overkill.

Not bad. Schiit sold out in about 3-1/2 months.

Count me as one who finally pulled the trigger after listening to the interview on Passion For Sound. Can't wait to hear his review. Glad to get in right before the sell-out, and can't wait to see what this tube thing is all about. Now to get my hands on some ZMF Verite (open)...

FWIW and YMMV, I've dug through my Mjolnir 2 and Budgie tube stash and given these a listen over the past couple of weeks. Left to right in order of preference. Primarily listening with HD800S, Focal Elear & Clear and Denon AHD7200 with the impedance multiplier on most of the time. I've tried my original fazor LCD-2s and new-ish LCD-2 closed back but they both sound awful with the FV, regardless of tube. I don't know what it is since others seem to have good luck with them. But then they both sound great with a Mjolnir 2 or WA22.

On a side note, I haven't looked at tubes on eBay since before Covid and Putin... Holy $#!%.

Anyway... Amperex Bugle Boy, Genalex Gold Lion, RCA 6BZ7, Electro Harmonix 6922, GE ECC88 "Smokie", JJ Electronic, Stock Mjolnir 2 tube, Stock FV tube.

….it took Benedict Arnold about 3-1/2 years…

I actually expected it to run out sooner after they hinted that there were only a single digit number silvers left in stock after black was out.

All in all, 250 amps in 3 1/2 months gives just over 70 per month, or 2.4 a day. Pretty good for such a large and pretty costly piece of equipment (of course a great value for that cost, but nonetheless)

Doesn’t show up on their site anymore. That’s a wrap “folks”
