Headphones

The Valhalla is kind of a pain in the ass. It's a class a amp that uses tubes, and has to warm up over quite a bit of time. It sounds fine, and works well with my Elear and hd800s. But, I did buy it used, and both the on/off switch and the high/low gain switch were broken off by the previous owner somehow. So, to turn it off, I have to unplug it, and to turn it on, I have to poke a small metal object into a hole and wiggle it around until something shorts and it holds and stays on. Soooo I just leave it on all the time. Not great for my electricity bill. But, it sounds great haha.

Maybe someday I'll get clear pads and see what the hype is all about. But, until then, I've kind of lost connection to any reviewers or whatnot, even basically stopped watching Zeos. I've never heard of any of those people you mentioned. Would you point to any one of them as a solid reference point with good taste and a lot of technical knowledge? Zeos was never that guy, as he's always been more of a hype-train. And while that's great and all... More than one industry/hobby have lost their leaders (thinking about total biscuit as an influencer and critic for gaming that always pushed for responsibility, much like Tyll).
