Schiit Mjolnir 2 Listening Impressions

Google schiit mjolnir "zero feedback"

Zero global feedback was a big deal 10 years ago..

I can find references that the MJ1 had a zero feedback design, but I'm not clear if that was dropped in the MJ2.

Also, Jason seemed to imply it changes between high and low gain.

MJ2 is a revamped MJ1.. there's a long post by Jason about the changes and it retains the zero global feedback design.

Zero feedback is for high gain. Low gain is implemented by introducing global feedback.

For those Mjolnirers (or other Schiiters) who partied (and are still going strong) with the Footscrays in summer 2021 like it was 1956/7, some good news:

Evidently feedback in low gain helps to suppress distortions.

Lowering distortion, and noise, is the main goal of feedback, yes.

On the flip side, it may diminish audibility of differences between tubes.

Unfortunately, the brown line in each graph depicts my interest in the rest of each graph 😜

Steady state fundamental level of interest?

Then you should be fascinated by MJ2+LISST or any other solid state amp..

When you guys talk about the brown line, are you talking about the noise floor line?

When it comes to distortion graphs, the brown line is my EKG plot 🤪😆🤪😆

But there are two brown lines.

And one of them is flatlining.... :wink:
