There may be a clip inside the knob , that may have compressed to much when being built. It looks like a pressure fit knob. Best solution is to glue it on or see if you can bend the clip inside the knob , outward. Hope it all works out for you. Cheers.
The difference that I found between the Valhalla and the lyr , was dynamics and soundstage. Imo the lyr wins in both categories.YMMV. Sold my Valhalla.
Yeah, I've read the same, but I didn't want to spend that much on another Lyr 2.
The Valhalla I got is new in box but at a significant reduction in cost. I felt like I had no choice but to try it out. It's also for my work system, which I typically cannot sit back and just concentrate on the music nearly as much.
No doubt it's an awesome amp. Especially when you get a good deal on it. I probably wouldn't have my lyr, if I didn't see the blow out sale at schiit when they had the lyr1 for $259 b-stock.

Just got my Valhalla 1, which is techinally my first tube amp.
Question:
Is it better to leave it running rather than turn it off and on for short gaps of time; for example, turning it off for 5-10mins for a shower then back on?

Leaving it on unattended for short periods like that is fine. 24/7 probably not the best idea. Your concern really is tube life. The electronics inside the amp will be fine of course.
I, and other owners of Schiit amps will tell you that there is little or no perceived sonic differences between the Schiit amps. This is to be expected in a well designed amplifier. An amplifier should add no coloration, only faithfully reproduce what it is given.
I'm not a tube roller so I cannot speak to the sonic differences obtained by the practice.

Hi all.
I posted a few weeks ago about receiving my HD600 and a modi/vali combo. High end seems too tame for my 60 year old ears. It was recommended I try some brighter headphones. I did. Tried a pair of Beyer and a pair of v-moda. They were brighter. Problem was I couldn't wear them for any length of time. So,I know it's admirable to make an amp neutral,but is there an amp or amp/dac combo that would be brighter than the Schiit combo?
Thanks for any input.

I don't think the problem is with your amp. However, the tube amps (vali) tend to sound a bit warmer (less tame you could put it that way). Solid State amplifiers would perhaps be just ever so slightly better. I think your best bet would be to try more headphones with more high-end emphasis.
