Just ordered a Gumby and Mjolnir 2 along with my Ether Flows and a balanced 10' 4Pin XLR cable. Dan, from MrSpeakers, recommended some  6922 Tungsol tubes to go with the Ether Flows, so I suppose I'll get them if not too expensive.  That's all...I'm looking forward to experiencing the upgrade from Asgard 2 and a Bifrost.

YMMV, YMMV, YMMV  These are a very cheap roll.
 
Western Electric 396A is a phuc ton of $$$ by comparison, but Ireally like 'em.

Exactly what I bought from him in October other than I got the shorter XLR cable. Really is a great combination. Regarding tubes I would give the iFi NOS 6922 a try, I have tried a few and they are by far my favourite and at around £100 for a warranty supported matched pair you can't go far wrong. They even come with gloves so you don't mark the tubes during fitting

  Hi Baldr, have a question for you enjoyed seeing your Video's on Dar_ko gives me prospective on the company ! Are you by any chance upgrading the Mjr 2 in the next few months I Iam thinking this due to the comment I read on Dar_Ko review,  stating that due to the introduction of Jot you may be competing with your own product Mjr if I understand it correctly ?
thanks !

 
At Schiit, Jason does almost all of the amp design (except Mani), and I do all of the digital design.  All I will say is the following - I love my Mule2 - it works very well with all of our digital gear.  Also, there are no current projects under development to improve, upgrade, or replace the Mule2.  As for the future - Who knows? - I am sure that Jason will get to it when it is time.

I personally would like to see a Schiit headphone amp (balanced and SE in/out) that uses the 6SN7 (to see what all the fuss is about) and that makes use of the most current Schiit thinking on power supplies, amplification circuitry and topology optimization.
 
It doesn't have to come in black.
 
But that's just me.

Does anyone else's Mjolnir 2 make occasional creaking/popping (I mean the unit itself, not in the audio chain). If I push town on the top of the unit it will make a similar clicking sound, so I'm pretty sure it's just a seam that moves slightly with the expansion/contraction of warmup and cooldown. Drove me crazy trying to pinpoint it for awhile, now it doesn't bother me. Just curious.

Guess it's an anomaly then. Perfect! Going to list it on eBay for $10,000. SCHIIT MJOLNIR 2 ULTRA-RARE MANUFACTURING DEFECT!!!

The consensus seems to be that Jotunheim's implementation of solid state is better than MJ2's with LISST. (I haven't heard it.) How much potential improvement in a "MJ3" would come from a different topology, and how much would be a better implementation of LISST?

+1  Or, a version of Freya with headphone out.

Yah!

 

[bosiemoncrieff]

Isn't Jason's main critique of the Freia tube set that it's too loud for headphones?

No, this would be anathema to Schiit's whole product line.
