I would like to hear some peoples experiences with OTL amps paired with the HD800.........................For what ever reason I keep finding myself looking at OTL. My first amp in headphones was the Schiit Valhalla I had it paired with the Schiit uber bifrost and listened to the HD650, and then later the HE500. I keep romanticizing about the sound I had
while my current rig is way more resolving and articulate I keep looking for that almost hallucinogenic sound signature, It always showed up after a couple hours
Man I miss that sometimes
Hey Joe, I use the Valhalla 2 OTL amp with my HD800 using a Rega Apollo as the source. You may remember we share the exact same frequency curve on our HD800. My source is a supposed analogue sounding cd player and combined with the Valhalla 2 - well I can't really fault it for the $
I read that the Valhalla 1 is quite different to the Valhalla 2. The V2 is very neutral. If I let mine warm up for a while it just becomes natural and and smooth. Highly recommended.
