Is the LED on front still going to light up my whole room like the Jot 1 does?

New member here, but wanted to add that my Jot 2 was ordered on 1/2 and shipped yesterday. Looking forward to hearing this with my Bifrost 2 and HD6xx and LCD-X. The switch for pre-amp was a big deal to me as I also use studio monitors and a subwoofer, so with the Magnius I had to order a switch with a remote so that I could turn the sub off when I wanted to use headphones.

It's definitely brighter than the LED on Bifrost 2. Plus there's some orange LEDs that glow through the top vent

Anyone using Jot 2 with low-impedance (~16 ohm) planars? Differences in sound between low and high gain modes?

Looks just as bright as Jot 1. Is it blue now rather than white like Jot 1 or is that just the photo?

Could be the photo. I never had JoT 1 but valhalla 2 and OG saga had the LED same as Jot 1. "BRIGHT!"

Bifrost 2 Asgard 3 Jot 2 and modius have less bright LED I believe.

Asgard 3 no front panel LED, only a white one visible through the top vents.

The led of Jot 2 is warm white, same as modius and not as intense as the Jot 1 which had a cool white led.

No clue why it appears blue on that pic.

Yep, order light dims from Amazon.

I'll be running the Jot 2 with the Bifrost 2 so definitely look forward to it.

I'm actually thinking to have the Bifrost 2 feed a Jot 2 via its balanced output and also use the Bifrost 2's RCA outputs to feed a Lyr 3. This way I can have an excellent balanced option as well as a single ended option

The difference there is the BF2 RCA out is not as robust as the Bal Out.

Got the Jot 2 a day or so ago and I am really pretty floored by it. Really remarkable amp, it's just about neutral to my ears, but not in a clinical or dry way. It really is almost tube-like in its sweetness of timbre and dynamics, and has a really effortless presentation of detail without verging into being overly diffuse like Lyr 3. It's like Asgard 3's tonality, just cooled down a little and much faster and more resolving. The bass reach is really special.

And as an aside... I love the way the orange and white lighting comes up through the grill up top.

I thought the se was just as capable.

Make sure you get a Jot that doesn't run superhot if you want to stack them.
My first Jot 1 was able to fry an egg, I returned it after a week.
My second Jot 1 just got a little warm to the touch, quite a difference.
The Jot 2 feels about the same as my second Jot 2.
