I'd also be curious how FV would play with Meze Empyreans or Elite's. They're planar but also pretty low impedance and efficient at 32 ohms. I have the MJ2 + Gumby stack and sounds pretty phenomenal.

 

[MisterRogersHaus]

It plays very well with Elite (low impedance, no multiplier).

You gotta go speaker amps with Stealth to make it sing unfortunately

No stealth, but v2. Sounds great with the Schiit Jot 2 (using the Lyr 3 as a preamp, but of course it adds no power). Jot 2 produces 6W into the Stealth's 35 ohms. More than enough to make the stealth sing the macarena.

Good luck getting rid of those images and sounds from 1993.

Just ordered one... Doesn't appear to be sold-out...

Good move. If you want one better not wait too long. When that page says “out of stock”, that’s it.

By the what was said on the Texas Audio Roundup event this weekend, half of the 250 have already been delivered, and the rest are on hold in production due to wait time on the transformers. No info on how many of them are already sold and how many are still available to order..

Going back and forth buying this all AM. I have a cap modded MJ2 that sounds amazing... and then his not being balanced and having a Yggy LIM how it will actually sound...

What headphone(s) do you have?

Arya's and HD800S's

Arya's and HD800S's

Check out the impressions on the sbaf Folkvangr thread. There roshambo123 compares his MJ2 with the FV and his HD 800 SDR. It's towards the bottom of the second page. I'd link it but I'm not sure that's possible. Also check later on in the thread. He decided not to keep it in the end.

IIRC Roshambo123 also has a Yggy and the SE Folkvangr presented a problem if he wanted to continue to take advantage of the balanced outs.

I don’t think I’d do it if I were @Blacksun and I say that as someone very happy with the FV. The Yggy really deserves a balanced amplifier and it’s more than good enough to build a system around.

Yeah, he didn't want to deal with transformers converting balanced to SE output to the Folkvangr, which makes sense.

I tried my Yggdrasil both balanced and SE to my WA33 and found the difference almost impossible to hear. I could quickly switch back and forth as I ran both to the WA33 simultaneously. It was so close I can’t say if I heard a difference or imagined it. Currently running the Yggdrasil SE to my Folkvangr and it sounds very good.

To me it was the Gungnir MB A2, not the Yggdrasil OG that had a very noticeable difference in SE out. GMB A2 SE was compressed/veiled sounding while Balanced out is perfect. Confirmed with Listening at Schiitr

So anyone using Folkvangr with a Yggdrasil LIM?
