Valhalla 2 review coming soon!
I am currently using the Valhalla 2 as a preamp for my Bob Latino M125 monoblocks. Works great sounds great. If only it had a remote, but I rarely desire to adjust the volume, so getting up to do so is rare.- vocalstrance

Schiit Mani
You may find the Schiit Jotunheim with a photo module in it to better suit your needs. It has volume control with xlr and rca outputs all in one box.- vocalstrance

Schiit Mani
Follow the YouTube videos for the removal process, it is not hard, you just need patience. To connect to active monitors I suggest connecting the Mani to a preamp with balanced output. Good luck to you.- vocalstrance

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Most everyone is waiting for the Freya, me I'm still waiting for the Ragnarok 2 to come out with a remote. The Ragnarok is great for my office, but anywhere else I would love to have remote capabilities. Until then I'm always excited to see new Schiit.- vocalstrance

Difference in height is under .5 inches. Don't even notice the difference. I notice more of a change if I move forward or back.- vocalstrance

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
I have been looking, but it seems like there are almost no OTL balanced headphone amps on the market. A V3 would be unique, especially at Schiit prices.- vocalstrance

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Great read as usual. Thankful never had issues swithching the Rag between speaker/headphones/both by being smart in one aspect of life and turning the volume down first every time. No one wants to go deaf in this hobby.- vocalstrance

Valhalla 2 review coming soon!
17,000 hrs of life may seem absurd, but I thought that warm-up was the most wearing part of using a tube, much like engine warm-up is when most wear and tear is done. The fast change in temperature is the enemy. That being said, leaving tube amps on "all the time" seems to be a waste of energy...- vocalstrance

I believe that it is Schiit policy not to make remarks on another companies products. Topology maybe.- vocalstrance

Valhalla 2 review coming soon!
I did get ebay socket savers and they introduced a lot of noise, but they were not too quality. I do however have my V2 raised; it is sitting on 4 large marbles which are sitting on 4 upturned rubber feet. I think it helps to add a little air circulation and it looks good too.- vocalstrance

I usually keep mine on high gain, but you should try both. Just ensure that you turn the volume all the way down first, or your ears may not like the jump in volume.- vocalstrance
