I have one of those fans on my Marantz HD-DAC1. That thing gets surprisingly warm. Would this fan fit nicely on top of the Valhalla 2? Where can I find tube risers?

I use one of those as a bidet, which, yes, is also part of my audio setup (re: end game)

Not really. My MJ2 runs really hot as well. Upwards of 110° on the thermal gun.
Bored so tried risers under the adapters today, was curious if it would help with heat or how wacky it could look >< (Is there a level where I should actually be concerned about the unit being too hot?)
I suppose if it's hot to the point where you can't physically touch it longer than say 10 seconds. That wouldn't seem normal to me.

~ Just a quick note to say that I am really enjoying my Sennheiser HD600 (Custom Cans UK mod) via the Schiit Valhalla II.
~ Also, to examine Ripper’s OCD about front tubes being taller than rear tubes, I put the 6N6Ps in Tubemonger socket savers. Rear tube height > front tube height.
~ There is a benefit from this (besides Ripper relief!). The Valhalla II seems to run cooler.

Just remember: water + high voltage = excitement!I was thinking of attaching a water pump to my case

If you don't look like this then don't talk to me about the endgame

You could always immerse your VH2 in a tank of non-conductive mineral oil or one of the new dielectric coolants..

Nah, go old skool and stop by your local power company's storage lot of old pole pigs and siphon off a couple gallons of old pcb-laden transformer oil. It's vintage!You could always immerse you VH2 in a tank of non-conductive mineral oil or one of the new dielectric coolants..

If one is really old school, any of the leftover pcb-oil can be used to fill the pivot pots for tonearms such as the unipivot JH Hancock or the Mayware Formula IV….Nah, go old skool and stop by your local power company's storage lot of old pole pigs and siphon off a couple gallons of old pcb-laden transformer oil.

That's quite the impressive stack you have. What cable are you using with the HD600?
I just received my Valhalla 2. A few days earlier than anticipated. Tried it with the stock tubes and now trying it with the aftermarket tubes. To be honest I don't notice a big difference between them. The amp does get quite toasty. For now I am just using the DAC in my MacBook Pro. But tomorrow or Saturday I will change to the DAC in my Marantz HD-DAC1. Right now it's connected to my two channel stereo setup and I don't feel like unplugging everything. Given how short the front tubes are it was pretty annoying to swap the tubes. So I will be looking for some tube risers/socket savers.

The blue cable is an ultra-low capacitance one from Custom Cans UK. It accompanied the HD-600 that I ordered with a Custom Cans CNC-milled backweight for the earspeaker drivers.
