Schiit Mjolnir 2 Listening Impressions

[billerb1]

Boy these last couple of days listening to the CV455's have been such an amazing pleasure !!! They sounded more than decent right out of the box but at about 50 hours the musical floodgates opened. These tubes deliver more music per square inch than I would have thought was possible. So RICH, so nuanced...and so damn musical. I just spent the last half hour examining the subtle harmonics and tone variations of Manu Katche's (one of my favorite drummers) two ride cymbals on his album "Neighbourhood." His crash cymbals and drums were just gravy. Everything is just presented to you on a gold platter with these tubes. It's just a matter of choosing which musical road you want to follow. Totally mesmerizing music...up close. I'm hoping those of you waiting on these tubes end up getting the same incredible synergy with your rigs as I have.
Cheers !!!

ROFL!

It's totally not my fault that so many posts need fixing, but on the positive side it's a small number of usual suspects that require regular post-fixin'. Or when someone says "I LOVE GE tubes!" you know that fixing their posts is just a start...

Another 1970s-style instructional message to follow post fixing. “This is a headphone amplifier (picture A). This is a headphone amplifier on GE tubes (picture B). Any questions?”

When did you buy them after me?

When did you buy them after me?

A day or 2 after Billy.

 

[billerb1]

I got mine in 6 days. I almost fell over when I saw 'em in the mailbox.

I ordered mine day after Billy and got mine the day after Billy. Put over 100 hours on them a couple days ago when I stopped burning them in. I'd email them. Might take 3 days for a first reply. After that they are attentive.

I figured waiting until the end of the week given what wes went through. 30 days before he saw his lol.

Of the several orders for Brimar CV455 placed directly with Langrex, I have not had any which took longer than 20 days to get to my address.

I like “the first” rather than “a”…

I am still waiting on my second pair, that I ordered before lots of you, so you are not alone. The first one that took 30 days, Langrex was just about to send out a replacement, so I don't think they will do anything if you email them, until it gets past 30 days. I actually have 3 different orders from the UK that are all in limbo for over 20 days now, and I am about to just stop buying from overseas, until USPS pulls their heads out of their asses! I also, have another one I already received a refund for and it's been in limbo for 3 months now. I currently have several Holy Grail level tubes that are in limbo and it drives me nuts!!! Just had to vent, sorry but I have been keeping that in for 20 days now. Until, everyone starts using EMS, DHL or Fedex, this problem will continue to get worse. The USPS Union Workers are a joke to human kind. Sorry, but I speak truth as I work directly with the USPS for a living and have a backstage pass to what is going on (literally as I go through the back door where all the sorting is done when dropping of my bulk mail every day). Lazy Union Workers at their finest! I am going to have to step away from tube talk and just enjoy what I have for a while, and count myself lucky I even got one CV455. I just get too frustrated every time this conversation comes up. . .See y'all hopefully sooner than later.

That's my 2 cents about the whole thing.

I don't suppose these smelly old things are any good?

That's my listing.

 

[Rowethren]

That's my listing.

Probably not worth it then, I will give you 50¢ for them and not a dime more.

 

[G0rt]

That's my listing.

Thought so.
