Schiit Mjolnir 2 Listening Impressions

Funny you ask. Last year Keith and I went all out on the LP. Even did an Alps pot with faceplate modifications on 3 of them.

The stock MJ2 has the modded LP beat hands down. The modded MJ2 is through the roof! I can't recommend the mod enough. It's bonkers!

Yep I heard the modded LP back then and thinking of having mine modded finally. Also thinking of a MJ2 used if I can snap one up and get some tubes from one of you crazy guys lol

I have a sickness of getting my amps modded by @ksorota. Bought one, sent it to Keith after spending 1 week with it in stock form.
Then came the birth of an entirely new amp after the cap mod.
Kinda took off from there. Then the tube rolling exploration leading us to Sir Footscray 😂
The most recent one for me is the ‘ksorolnir’ ! Before that, Liquid Platinum.

I've noticed an explosion of people using Mjolnir 2 amp recently. Is it because it is not being made anymore > what happened that you guys all started listening to after all this time ? I kind of want one now ....
I had been and still am looking at hybrid tube/SS headphone amplifiers. I bought an MJ-II just before discontinuation: the website was being changed while I was ordering. My intent, fully realised, was to send it to @ksorota🥇for the cap mod - based on his stellar work on the LP. In fact, the MJ-II went from Schiit directly to @ksorota. Result: musically SOTA h/p/a without the SOTA price.

The next level to complete the MJ2 journey is the 1957 CV4033 triple mica Footscray on adapters. 🤯
This IS the real deal….Psst, I did one more thing: replaced the MJ-II stock fuse with a Synergistic Research Orange…😁. Between the EVO Mystique DAC, Morrow Audio balanced XLR cables, the SRO, and the Footscrays…the music, like MLK, declares “thank god almighty, I’m free at last”.

I think Keith did my fuse as well. Lol. He mentioned it during the mod.

I really want to try the mod as well but can't seem to find anyone in the UK to do it :frowning2:

You guys are making me want to get cap mod….bad! Lol. Still waiting on my Gumby, starting to think maybe I should get mod while I’m waiting instead of after I get it. Hmmmm. These footscrays just keep getting better! Just got my backup set in 👍🏼
Really glad you're digging the Footscrays bro. You will thank yourself later by getting the mod done. I promise lol

Wanted to update the thread regarding the January Footscrays that Sanjiv has. He's not selling them to the public. Meaning he's only selling them to us 🤯

What a great guy!

Oh man. Do I really need a 4th pair? 😂
How different could they be? I am wondering if I need one of these as well? My thoughts are that maybe a couple months of learning how to make them, could mean they got a bit better later in the year. . .

Don't say that, I just bought a pair of the January ones!
