My Mjolnir sounds the same to me now after >500 hrs listening as it did right out of the box.
Have not received SW cable yet but doubt seriously there will be any definable change in SQ there either. Just don't buy into the burn in. Tubes age but SS is what it is.

 
I have to agree with you on this one.  
 
Although, I never heard a brand new MJ.  I heard a well burned in one.  It was still a forward sounding amp none the less.  Just as much as the BHA-1.  It may have calmed down come some.  But not to the fact of it not being a forward sounding amp.  That's its nature and what makes it a good match for the LCDs and not so much for the HD800s IMO...

I experienced burn-in with every piece of Schiit gear I've owned. Multiple amps/dacs, all of them. I think 50~100 is a good number. Belief in burn-in doesn't really hurt anybody or their wallets, so not sure why people get hostile over it. Burn-in happens naturally anyway, after a month or two. Now I'm against people saying 1000+ hours, but saying 24~100 hours seems pretty harmless to me. And umm.. yes this is my subjective personal experience of course and YMMV, etc, etc...

 
 Burn-in is plausible in certain things like tubes, but in headphones and speakers it is more a matter of getting used to the performance.

Stop using my eloquent copyrighted speech. I'll sue man. I'll sue you so hard you confess to burn-in or go broke.

Fellow schiitheads, I come bearing news of new schiit to add to your schiitpiles, from the king of schiit himself. 
 
 
My E-mail to Schiit:

Hey guys,[...]

I write because I have a product request of sorts. [...] As much as I am dearly in love with my Valhalla, I find myself going and unplugging the Modi to switch to my computer speakers whenever I want to game, watch YouTube videos etc. as those feel like a waste of tubes.

In a perfect world, my solution for this would be a slimmer chassis box that matches the other 9"ers, and which simply has a toggle on the front, allowing one to stack it on top of their Bifrost, and then both an Asgard and Valhalla on top of that, with the toggle routing the Bifrost's output to one of those two amps. That way, I could switch to solid state when I wanted to do something I felt didn't deserve tube-hours, or when I wanted to use some of my cans that perform better on solid state, etc.

Obviously, sticking an Asgard under a Valhalla could pose some heat problems, so maybe the togglebox would go between the two, and have feet that provided breathing room above the lower amp. I don't know, you guys are the masters - but the idea at its core, if somehow doable, I would love it.

Simply, a way to point my DAC at one of two different amps with the flick of a switch, that looks good with my other schiit, and is built to the same awesome standards of quality and fidelity I've come to expect. [...] I know there are cheaper RCA switchboxes out there already, but I'm not entirely sure about their effect on fidelity, and they certainly don't have the same aesthetics or build quality.

Thanks for listening
 

 
 
Jason's Response:

There'll be something like that coming soon, but in the smaller chassis size.

All the best,

Did you ever have the Mojo with Gungnir through the HD800? I'm looking for more opinions on this combo.

No I saw no reason to try the Gungnir since I had the Eximus. Plus there's a few unsatisfied HD800/Gungnir peeps out there...mostly attempting to shift blame to the Mjolnir lol.

Jason's answer is clear, but your question is incomprehensible to me. I tried reading your question to him twice and my brain failed. What in the world were you asking? So what is the new product in your opinion?

My guess is a switch.

good quality Y-splitters from the Bifrost do the job for me. I just turn off whichever amp I don't need. Clean, quick, and cheap.

Nah. It's just B-stock. Not brand new. They get occassion B-Stock amps from customer returns. It's not like they had a fire sale of the Asgard 1 when going to 2.

Sounds like a DAC with multiple outputs

 

[joebobbilly]

Hmmm I'm wondering if doing Tyll's foam mod for the HD800 would remove a bit of that sharp treble from the Gungnir then?

You're planning on applying a headphone mod to an amp?
