I just placed my order for a Valkyria. Safe to say it's going to be a loooong 2 - 3 weeks.

I
CAN'T
WAIT
2-3 weeks actually strikes me as pretty quick!

How do these usually sound, compared to Focal Utopia 2022, for example? I'm very intrigued by these.
Dark, bassy, laid-back, perfect timbre, best dynamics. Check out my review (link in sig).
Utopia is WAY more aggressive.

You'll be in for a treat. They are something special. They are also limited to 100 units, potentially the supply will run out in a not so distant future.

I wonder what the highest unit on head-fi is?

Pulsar is also limited, but to 1000 units. Mine is #3 which is surprisingly low.
With EQ it's my favourite sounding headphone on my current chain. Soon I'll be able to compare them to the Valkyria at home, looking forward to that :)
Oh man I feel like a little kid choosing which albums I'm gonna listen first. Dream Theater, Liquid Tension Experiment, Hans Zimmer live, Lamb of God I could go on and on

2-3 weeks actually strikes me as pretty quick!
Not when you have read this thread and @Exekuhtor review more than 10 times and watched CMAs review like 15 times lol

I have #36. #3 is indeed very low.

I'm obsessing over this amp right now. Definitely looking forward to your thoughts. Would love to hear comparisons with Solaja Audio's new 300B if anyone's able to provide them.

Very nice indeed! Look forward to your impressions. As is the case with other amps, rolling the driver tubes can be used to fine tune the sound.

And with Valkryia, I found that the 50 ohm impedance works best for my tastes.

Sadly i had to add a paragraph to my Valkyria review regarding a driver revision, everyone that bought a unit / thinks about buying one, check it out.

I really hate this situation, it always makes me wonder which version is better and if the old version is better then it's really a disaster, why do I have to spend that much money to buy the limited version when there is Someone else has a better version than mine? Really annoyed. Hopefully Spirit Torino will have an answer for this

Where are the venting holes located?

Check the cup, you'll see 4/5 closed off sections at the side just below the pad, in the one open section there are 3 venting cups in my unit.

@DJJEZ Signature link!

Thanatos got "The bass is similiar" as an answer in a dialogue with Spirit Torino, which i have to be frank, if the bass is the same on the Pulsar as the newer Valkyria versions compared to my old Valkyria, is not the case. I have also not heard the modded 5 hole version, so i can't speak about that.
