Schiit N Music
Friday Night (Monday morning follow up)
Listening.
After dinner and it's cleanup I settled for a real listening session.
A couple three/four hours later I managed to tear myself away and hit the bed.
The Beyerdynamic T1, version 2, 600 ohm disappeared. The music enveloped me.
Been a bit since I enjoyed a session this much.
At some point I swapped to the HiFiMan Edition XS.
Nope, not happening an unwanted interruption.
I will say that the Mjolnir 2 with the 5670 (396A) Raytheon JAN JRP - “Windmill Top Getters/Grey Plates” in hi gain driving the T1 was/is a wonderful combination.
The kit:
Cambridge CXC ->
coax ->
Gungnir Multibit ->
balanced cable ->
Mjolnir 2 ->
Balanced cable ->
Beyerdynamic T1
The session was all CD.
Jimi Hendrix, Justin Hayward, Frank Zappa, Traveling Wilburys and others were included.
Standouts were -
Dedicated; Steve Cropper "A Salute to the 5 Royals" - Included on tracks are Steve Winwood, B.B. King, Delbert McClinton, Sharon Jones, Bettye LaVette among others.
The Three Pickers; Earl Scruggs, Doc Watson, Ricky Skaggs
"Forever Autumn" - Justin Hayward from "Spirits... Live" ended it up.
The Raytheon's are staying in place while they gain run time and settle in.
The Edition XS did not sound bad at all, just too different for the moment.
Stand alone sessions with them and others are required.
The Cambridge CXC is wonderful in this kit; however Urd will replace it at some point. GAS for sure.
Thinking about the Mjolnir 3, balanced splitter cables and a taller stack of Schiit
Mjolnir 2 was toasty hot as it was switched off. Hard working it was.
My mood, my ears, my kit and YMMV.
Enjoy the Schiit N Music
