Schiit Mani
With the Mani and Jotunhiem with phono, can anyone compare them? Which sounds better? I'm planning on getting the new RHA CL1 balanced iems, they have a amp for over $500, so I'm wanting to get the Jotunhiem instead and I'm getting into vinyl. Thanks- bretemm

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Thank you. Guitar center is just close by. He did mention another place, I think it had "tube" in the stores name. I asked him about tubes, just to, because I was there. Thank you. Again, he was amazed tho I said the headphone amp is a Class A.- bretemm

Schiit Valhalla Tube Rolling thread.
I just got back from guitar center, The guy never heard of schiit. I showed him the tube names rollable to, and he said that the names maybe "American version names"?

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Random but, I just went to Guitar Center and asked about tubes for the Valhalla2, He hasn't heard of Schiit but, Was amazed that it's a Class A amp and then said, The tubes are kinda rare? Or types of tubes that are listed to roll too, are rare or few? I asked about the Russian tubes and he...- bretemm

I'm listening to a CD of the Greatfull Dead through a Valhalla2 Bifrost DS setup, it sounds way better then thorough my FIIO and iPod. The bass and deep notes weren't as good and I could tell the music was weak, but Schiit is really clearing it up and details.- bretemm

Great! Yes I think they go great together. I have the Magni and Modi first, then I go the Valhalla2 and used the Modi with it, then I got the Bifrost. The modi vs the Bifrost, I think the Bifrost adds more of a "stable"? And stronger type of a soundstage (kinda). The Valhalla2 really helps bring...- bretemm

Multi-IEM Review - 352 IEMs compared (Pump Audio Earphones added 04/03/16 p. 1106)
RHA just came out with a XLR iem and a amp for it. I have a sound question, Is there a noticeable difference between XLR and regular headphone jack IEMs? I am looking at also Shire, senheiser, Noble and JH Audio.- bretemm

Thank you, I do hear noise with the Valhalla2 with my iems (I'm limited because I can't get by strong magnets) I might look into a iem that Jude listed in the Jot review. Solid state is was suggested to me acouple times before.- bretemm

I have the Valhalla2 and Bifrost DS, What would putting the Jotunheim as a pre-amp in the middle do? (But also listening from it as well). Sometimes I don't like waiting to have the Valhalla2 warm up and I'm looking into Vinyl soon. Thank you- bretemm

Would it make sense to get the Jotunheim with the phono card, because I already have a Bifrost? (I have a Valhalla2 I use with it.) I'm wanting to get into Vinyl and switch between more sources. I'm also looking at powered monitors in the future.- bretemm

Should the mani pair well with the phono option on it? I watched the video and doing well with sensitive iems would be great for me (I can't use headphones because of magnets)- bretemm

Does anyone use MartinLogan ESL? How many watts do you use? Would a marantz sr5009 be enough? Thanks- bretemm
