I believe the smell is from the pads. Congratz!- streaml1ne

For anyone wondering, Smoked Bronze is also nice, it shifts between this gold color in brighter light to the stock Tungsten "tungsten grey" color in lesser light.- streaml1ne

Nice, my double-sided will be Northern Lights as well. This is a video he sent me of them a week or two ago. Touch of gold color shift in there too.- streaml1ne

I believe this is what's being referred to: It sits in between the spring steel sheet attached to the pads and the chassis. The straight line cutouts provide a vent. By default SS does not come with them and I'm not sure what DS's configuration is by default anymore. Ryan gave me a pair to...- streaml1ne

MJ3 and Jot 2 do fine with single sided Tungstens so they should have no problem whether you got SS or DS Tungsten. Can't comment on the THX and Topping stuff.- streaml1ne

The current round of MJ3 has a 220V option, this batch might be sold out already though. I'm so far behind on that thread.- streaml1ne

FLUX Mentor Class-A dual-mono headphone amplifier.
Anyone who has been reading my impressions, hold off on making a decision based on them. I realized last night that I have a mismatched set of cables coming out of my Douk switcher and going to the Mjolnir 3 vs Mentor. The line into the Douk is World's Best Canare XLR, and going to MJ3 is also...- streaml1ne

Not detecting any changes in the bottom end on Mentor in the lower gain modes. Mjolnir 3 still seems to have the edge there. Will let it burn in more and see if anything changes with that.- streaml1ne

You will be fine with the Jotunheim 2 and/or Mjolnir 3. Pursue other options later as much as your level of "the gear acquisition disease" warrants.- streaml1ne

FLUX Mentor Class-A dual-mono headphone amplifier.
At the moment based on my listening that would be MJ3, but I do not have a lot of hours on the Mentor in total and I believe they recommend 100+ hours for burn in (if you're into that sort of thing), I also have not tried the other gain modes to see if the signature changes. That testing should...- streaml1ne

No problem driving SS Tungsten on either amp IMO. My volume matching setup is to play a 440hz non-replay-gained test track as well as a 1k track and a pink noise track and get the volumes matched to the same tenth of a db using a decibel meter. Both amps are in high gain and I think I was at...- streaml1ne

Seems like Mentor got popular. I also don't know how affected their production is by the war, if they're still in Kharkiv they might be struggling.- streaml1ne

If you have been given a tracking number on the order site just check that for movement. Mine is still "In Processing" and I've had it for a week. IIRC it took about 10 days to see movement from UPS. Login to the UPS tracking site if you have an account with your address attached to it and you...- streaml1ne
