My only complaint is the power switch locating at the back. It would be a slight pain for people like me who needs to reach the back of the shelf/rack. FV is the same :s

At least neither is on the right side where all the hot is!

Has anyone tried using mjolnir 3 as a pre amp yet? How do you think it would compare to other pre amps like the kara?

Maybe better. Chokes! Def could be quieter, with headphones near silent in SE mode. Depends on high the output is and if a person wanted long runs to their amps aka balanced cables. And of course more inputs, but if you have URD ....

Surprise pairing: Grado 2000x! lo/se/fb on.

Each brings out the best parts of the other: wide open landscapes, extended frequency response, dead silent noise floor, and even the bass seems filled out! The high end is not at all irritating, in fact, m3 is a great pairing with Grado 2000x!!!

Been listening to this with LCD MX4 / LCD X 2021 and I have to say the amount of detail with this amp vs my prev daily drivers Magnius and Ragnarok 1 is unreal. The separation of instruments is really on another level, esp with snare drums and hi hat / ride cymbals on all the songs I have listened to so far.

There's maybe one hour a day where the sunlight reaches my desk. I give you the Mjolnir 3!

Hey, can you share where you get the fancy weight for cable management?
Looks like a very neat solution for listening at the desk

It doesn't say in the manual whether one should turn the amp off before changing any of the sittings.

Should I turn the amp off before changing any of the settings?

You should be good. It vaguely mentions it by way of, "Note 2: There may be a small to moderate glitch when switching gain or mode. If you would like to avoid this, unplug your headphones. We do not recommend IEMs with this amp in any case.".

I don't turn mine off when I swap and I haven't noticed anything noteworthy. The "glitch" is really quiet even while wearing headphones IME.

For sure. It's a Pinza in the size large. It's great with all but the gnarliest of cables.

After more time behind the mjolnir 3 it is becoming my favorite amp. The sound is quite decadent and beautiful. It maintains treble detail, and provides punch to bass even on susvara and ab 1266. I am hearing so much detail from the susvara and 1266 it really is incredible.

At least, turn the volume down if you're listening at ear-bleeding levels. I tried it at lower (sane) volumes and had no ill effects to either my ears or my HPs.

There is just something about the mjolnir 3 where I feel like I am getting more detail than I have noticed before in the textures of sounds. It's almost like an exotic delicious piece of fruit you want to take a big bite out of to satiate your hunger. You can eat other food but you might not get the same level of texture and flavor. There's definitely a lot going on.

Are you liking the MJ3 more than the other amps, including the Bliss, with your planars? I have a Meze Elite that is my main headphone, and it's relatively easy to drive. It will supposedly scale with better amps, so I'm tempted to try the MJ3. I use and like the Cayin iHA-6 currently. I have recently upgraded to a Yggy A2 from an OG Bifrost 2, and I wonder if my amp is the weak link in the chain now. Don't get me wrong, it sounds excellent, but as always, I'm curious if it could be improved.
