That's nice to hear owning an A-2. I had read that the Asgard might not be enough for the LCD-2...like you'd at least want a Lyric.

i had all three with the lcd2, to me it was a good, better, best regarding the a2,lyr, mjo

Same here but funny ! I actually would reverse the positions of the Lyr and the mojo, IMO. We do hear differently.

Well, regardless in terms of cost effectiveness bang for buck, Lyric sounds like a no brainer

You want cost effective? Consider a Project Ember with supercharger module, it's cheaper.
I'm leaning this way for HE-500 after selling Lyr.
Ember should present blacker background and tube rolling expenses in future are half due to single tube design.

Not quite the wattage of Lyr, but enough for HE-500 at about 1.6W per channel.

You're not alone.  I prefer the silver too.

 

[fenderf4i]

I would never consider buying a black one.

 

[FrZ-Fi]

Just recieved my black version to replace the original silver one I had. Man this thing is drop dead gorgeous. I love the matte finish, really goes well with the glowing tubes

Oh wow I didn't see this thread before!  I'm currently saving for a pair of TH900s and plan to use them with my Asgard 2+Bifrost Uber combo.  If that doesn't cut it I will be eyeing the Ragnorak with the Bifrost.

 

[Xdaggersoul]

I would prefer the silver finish too.
Nevertheless, the black finish looks great on this amp.

If it was in there I didn't see it, how long does the Lyr take to burn-in, Around the typical 50-100hrs?
