My Mjolnir 2 arrived last night!
After the unboxing I let the MJ2 warm up for about two hours and then came back for a late night listen. Before getting the gear set up I noticed the whole unit really did warm up! The MJ2 gets warmer than I would have expected given it only runs two tubes.
I set up an AQ Forest USB > Mojo > Kimber GQ Mini > Mjolnir 2 w/stock tubes > Audeze balanced cable > late 2016 Audeze LCD-2s for a late night listen. Up to this point I had only ran my LCD-2s single ended and with moderate power. I had always heard they do well off more power so I selected them to use for my first listen and boy what a treat! Out of the MJ2 these things really sing, this amp just flat out makes these headphones so much better. It was several hours later and I finally had to get some sleep, and only then did I realize my initial intentions where to run two other headphones off the MJ2 that night. That right there is a sign of good things to come.
Also I gotta give a shout out to the crew at Schiit and FedEx for doing exactly what they were supposed to do when they said they would do it in order to get the amp in time for the long weekend. That seems like such a small thing but man it just seems to happen less and less lately.
