I am also using Mjolnir 2 stock tubes with the HE1000. Low gain is already more than enough for the volume. Never turn it pass 9 oclock on low gain.

For every can except K1000 and HE-6, MJ2 is unimpeachable (perhaps Abyss as well—I don't know—and for those it is merely quite competent, without being exemplary). I'm shocked the Schiitr doesn't have the HE1k to show off, given that the pairing is, as you say, so good.

I'm patiently waiting for the combo to arrive

I have also returned the HEK for the HEK2, Got 3 pairs of tubes, and got a used pair of Audeze LCD-X

I'm set for the foreseeable future

Nop, so far, only local Schiit dealer takes care of it. But, if they can't find anything, I will try to contact Nick. Thanks for the advice !

Well, they found nothing... So I am going to try a couple more things this weekend and then, send an email to Nick if I can't find anything.

How can you use a prefazor LCD-X ? Aren't they all Fazor ? I thought only the LCD-2 and 3 had some prefazor drivers.

 

[eee1111]

no you are right all lcd x have fazor


When I bought it I was told it was before fazor

But all lcdx have fazor apparently

Hi Guys,
Is there any other option on the market to the Mjolnir 2? Meaning headphone tubeamp + preout for active speakers...

Many thanks in advance!

 

[bosiemoncrieff]

Lyr? Valhalla? Vali?

Lyr? Valhalla? Vali?

Ah yeah. I should have been more specific. I also meant other than Schiit

 

[eee1111]

The connection between mj2 and gumby multi bit......


... xlr

The ones I got from monoprice don't say anything about quality or balanced

Does it have to be a balanced xlr or can it be a regular xlr

The ones I got from monoprice don't say anything about quality or balanced

XLR is balanced. (RCA is not balanced.) If u have XLR, u are running it in balanced as far as I know

 

[Globox]

True.

Every time I think I wanna get gumby to go along with mj I remember yggy and hold off. Prob will be at least another year but gumby would just delay the inevitable. Better to have a desktop rig and a two channel rig with a definite demarcation. Not sure though which dac would go where...
