Hey All!
Bcowen - I did notice that but didn't realize what the Loki referred to. I guess the seller is selling all his Schiit! lol
Bit of news, tried the tubes last night, The CON ones attached to bases had a channel out, the ones with orange lettering didn't work at all with bases so I'm using what I assume is the stock 6DJ8's with no riser. Sounds OK, but underwhelming by what I know tubes can do. So now I'm questioning both the risers and the other tubes. No markings on the risers, all I know is they are for 9 pin tubes. So to be sure, ordered a set of the converters from Pulse (6DJ8>12AT7).
Did some looking online at pin layout for 12A's and 6DJ8's, the only difference I can tell seems to be the 6DJ8's have pin 9 as a shield between sections
and the 12AT7 seems to have pin 9 as a center tap for the heater, with no shield.
I'm guessing here, but that center tap might be because 12a's can be either 6 or 12 volt heater config?
Hmm, if the shield is actually used in our Mjolnir's , I think it might have some advantages (crosstalk/lower noise). Further reading revealed this tube type was not really made for audio applications, but Schiit chose that tube for a reason. I might have to look at getting a few HG 6922/ECC88/6DJ8's!
No progress on the cable, and I haven't assembled the ZMF's. XLR connector didn't come in. I'll be too busy for the next week to work on it, so will have to shelve until next weekend.
Anyway, hope Ya'll all have a great weekend!!!
