  What makes the Jot sounding better than Asgard 2 aside from the extra power of course?

 
I don't think it is the additional power - in fact, in SE I don't think it is necessarily more powerful than the asgard 2.
 
Jotunheim is clearer, and the clarity and detail is presented in a very pleasing way. It is hard to describe - 'beautiful' for lack of a better word.

Does anyone have any insight on how the joti , compares to the mjolnir1?

Just curious because if I can get similar performance, in a smaller package. I'd definitely snag one of these up.

I've been following along since the beginning and I don't recall any direct comparison to the Mjolnir 2. Anyone have that info? @MattTCG?

 

[Guidostrunk]

I wish I had the mjolnir 2. Some Valvo CCa , yellow prints, and fugedabadit. Lol. I have the mj1

Is it pronounced (Yo-10-highm)? Lol

Either that or Yo-tin-highm.

  I've just made a similar transition. Replaced Asgard 2 with Jotunheim with Bimby as input.
Can't say how Jotunheim will compare with the LC v2, but Jotunheim > Asgard 2 in every way that I can tell. It is a fabulous combination. 
 
Edit: forgot to mention - using SE HD 600.
 
Edit 2: Only problem is that this now sounds better than my "primary" stereo speaker setup.

Wow. Ether C Flows with Asgard 2 from Bimby already win over my speaker setup in some respects: less smooth, more real percussion, sax, and strings, maybe because of the integrated DAC/amp Bel Canto C7R powering my speakers, which tends a bit towards the mellow, great for dinner time music but sometimes less convincing in close listening. I fear that the Jot is going to "force" me to replace the C7R by something else (hum, Schiit two-channel...).

Yoe-tun-highm (Jötunheim) should be the correct Old Norse pronunciation, seeing as Schiit went with the anglicized version then Yoh-tun-highm is probably the most accurate approximation.

 

[Guidostrunk]

Sounds like he said (Yoat-in-highm)

Hey, if we are going to be picky, lets use some Old Norse funny characters: Jǫtunheimr

Haha I'm all for the anglicized versions of the canon, that's why my name's Vigrith and not Vígríðr even though I love the ON alphabet.

Wasn't trying to be picky, just figured it may be relevant to point out the (slight) difference between both iterations!

The mjo1 had plenty of power but was harsh sounding especially in the treble spectrum. It needed a warm dac to yield a pleasing sound. The mjo1 never worked for me.

The mjo 2 is a fantastic amp. With a good set of tubes, this is an end game amp for just about anyone. Tube sweetness, unapologetically dynamic, refined power. Very natural and organic sounding. The thing I have to be careful with is going down the rabbit hole called tube rolling. You can easily put up 1/2 the cost of the amp for a rare set of tubes. A collection of tubes is often more than the cost of the amp itself.

I agree with this, the collection of tubes for my Lyr2 and BH Crack are 2-3 times the price of the amp themselves.
