Bought a Jotunheim 2 with the cheaper internal DAC to make moving it from my desk to my coffee table less of a pain than moving a full stack, it’s also cheaper than buying two dedicated setups. Hopefully it show up before my T60 Argons… I’ll probably get a Bifrost eventually but $1ish K on audio is enough for one month.

I am going to buy the Dekoni Blues on Black Friday. Until then, these pads will be on my daily Yamahas.

edit: pad swapping is a magical journey. i have 2 zmf pads and 2 other dekoni pads for these headphones. they all help me tolerate treble because of my sensitivity while providing their own spice. these pads on the other hand let me enjoy the treble. i think it has to do with the velour material which tames the sub-bass; still enjoyable regardless. also, these pads make the headphones semi-open, because it does not isolate me from noise very well.

i am already looking forward to pad swapping with the Blues.

Well, I did it. I just couldn’t stand it any longer. I finally cancelled my order with Schiit for the Jot. The lady was very nice but after 2 months they don’t even have an ETA for the stinking parts. Pretty sad. I was looking forward to rocking that nice Schiit stack. But that is over. That did, however, leave me without an amp in hand. So…

I have been wondering about this thing for a long time. I figured if there was ever a time… do it now! So I pulled the trigger. It got here in one week. A full week early. And I’ll just leave it at that. So yeah, the new amp!

What a great piece of gear. I’ll leave detailed impressions in the SA-1 thread, but let’s just say that 6 hours into it’s life I am very, very pleased with and impressed by this thing. Page turned.

Man I love mine, hope you really enjoy. Also make sure the set screw on the knob is tight or you loose like an 1/8th of a turn.

Running mine today on the LP. Seems to missing something. Now I am going through my test list again, but using my Schiit Loki this time. Much better, but that is worrying to me.

No worries is good to hear. The HIBY R5s seems to be more than adequate for me but I’m sure as $ allow, they would scale much more with a better source. One of my balanced cables arrive today and should see an improvement. Hope so that is.
Best
