You'll be just fine. I'm traveling with Mojo for years, and even after having TT2 on desk, it is always refreshing to listen to this little fella. Having Mojo and H2 jointly means you will have 2 different sound signature... so you will be just fine, trust me.

Only single pair of IEMs? I'm sure there is still some space left to squeeze in some more in there

The OP knows his gear, and it would seem, how to flex... Good job all around!

It's a Psvane, with a little dampener on the outside. I like that it looks like a UFO.

What does the dampener do? How does it affect the sound? Also how do you like the pairing of Lyr 3 and Bifrost 2?

I switched things up, rolled tubes and swapped pairings. Now my VC is paired with the Pendant SE and my Atticus is paired with the RH-5. A couple of headphones, a bunch of tubes and 2 different types of tube amps, really helps me keeps things fresh and exciting. I have learned having multiple options is the best way for me to stay content with my gear. I am so lucky to own gear this good, and continue to be blown away every time I listen.

Happy listening!

Amazing setup and great collection of tubes. Do you give all your tubes a fairly regular rotation? I just have a Valhalla 2 right now but would love a more fancy tube amp. I was think of the Feliks Audio Echo MKII.

I had Lyr3 and BF2 and the Combo will be best stack at its price point. Very smooth, good tube bloom combined with R2R richness in mid bass that will give vocals nice weight. Top end will be silky smooth and mids will be organic.

But that would depend on the tube used right? My current headphones are the HD6XX and ZMF Aeolus.

This weekend sold my WA5 LE and brought in Wells Audio Milo to add solid state to my Wells system.

A few recent moves / updates on my desk: added the MTM's and BF2 DAC. The room correction / calibration on the MTM make a big difference given my much less than optimal speaker positioning.

I have the MTMs and they are absolutely stellar!

my only complaint on the MTM's is how high their internal gain is. They really want to be loud! I'm considering putting them on a DAC / Pre-Amp that is a little bit more tame. The Jot2/BF2 stack barely gets past 8 o'clock and it's a good listening level. 9 o'clock and some tracks are too loud. I would like to recover some volume range. Even turning down the volume on the back doesn't make that much of a difference.

I like how well you have kept your pigtails and adapter. Mine is all over the place and most of the time I don't find them.

You'll never guess what those are: hardwood soap dishes!

Buddy of mine from high school makes these, and I took a few scraps home last time I visited him. One is made of Zebra Wood, the other is Red Oak. If you look at his "exotic wood" section there's Purple Heart and African Cherry. Really nice way to keep little odds and ends organized! If you message him I'm sure he would sell smaller quantities than what is listed.

Genius! I love seeing inventive use of seemingly random objects for audio purposes.

Also, your bud is now going to be busy catching up with demand after that post

Interestingly enough, that "volume" knob adjust the amount of signal coming from your source, not really the actual volume output of the speaker. To me, that seems like 6 of one, half dozen of the other, but that knob didn't affect volume the way I thought it would. I also struggle with volume range a bit with them, but man, they sound soooooo good!
