Anyone ever compare Edition XX to Edition XS? If so, how close are they to each other?

I'm very curious about the future of Schitt's amplifier line-up. So Midgard is a fantastic performer. The future Asgard+ (4) will surely employ the Halo technology with the balanced inputs and quasi-balanced output. This Asgard 4 with Halo then will absolutely eclipse the Jotenheim 2 which...

What is that supposed to be?

Or just put it in a separate chassis all together with a switcher for various voltages. Then when Schitt comes out with a new amp or DAC, they'll only have to ship the pcb chassis for a lesser cost. Kind of like sticking with the modular theme? Imagine the cost savings? The completive price...

So, that means we'll be getting an Asgard+ with Halo much, much, sooner then? Right?....or a Jotenheim3!!!!!!!!!!....or a Lyr2+........

LOL... I kept coming down in the morning and having to re-listen and compare to my Jotenheim2. Surely, I was suffering from "new toy syndrome" and made an over enthusiastic evaluation. Every morning for a week, I kept doing the comparison. I kept thinking "It can't be this good?....this wee...

A new old stock/new in box would be like $170. It was worth it over the stock tube to me. I'm a freak though. I have to know that I have the best. I justified it because even with an expensive tube, the Vali3 + WE396A was still less than the Jotenheim2. The Vali 3 sounded similar and...

Hold the phone! Got this NOS Phillips 2C51 tube from TUBE DEPOT for $19.95. Pictured alongside my 1966 WE396A ($100). The WE396A sounds about 5% more spacious but other than that, it's got the same exact tonality, clarity, imaging, etc. Link and pic below: https://tubedepot.com/products/2c51

Still available?

Well, with that WE396A, it's a good pretend.
