Speaking of, if you are done I need to get that back soon. Will have my Mjolnir shipping with the Gungnir I ordered shipping out next week. Only have 15 days to decide on the Mjolnir.

Curious to find if it has changed. I don't see how its possible having run it for around 500 hours, but we'll see.

I don't think that I am at the 200 hours of use with the BHA-1 yet.

Has anyone tried the K1000s with the Mjolnir?

I have been running the Mjolnir and BA side-by-side for the past four days. The BA kicks the Mjolnir's ass (as it should), but yet I find the Mjolnir, all technicalities aside, very satisfying with its ability to suck me into the music. And this is coming from someone who doesn't listen to solid-state amps (I found them mostly flat and boring sounding). So the Mjolnir's gotta be doing something right (this coming from my completely unreliable subject-to-whatever-whims-or-moods subjective side).  
 

I'm curious as to why you would consider selling your BA and replacing it with the Mjolnir when you consider the BA the superior amp?

I mainly listen to my electrostatics now, so I rarely listen to my dynamic headphones. And when I do, it's usually when I'm travelling or helping others tweak and/or measure their headphones.
 
Also, I need a preamp in the living room. BA in the living does not make a good preamp with young kids around the house.
 
But you are right, every time I hear the BA, I do not want to sell it. That is why I still have it. I know I'll eventually let it go.

Ah, that's definitely understandable.  I find I get too attached to gear that has truly made my happy to ever sell it, even if I can't find a near-term use for it.  But then again the BA is expensive........ no point tying up all that value if it isn't being used.
 
I wish I knew what the BA sounded like, it would make a great point of reference.

Gungnirs ship Friday, so there should be more feedback by next week.
