It's interesting (though unsurprising) that H-F's Ether C thread is full of oh-so-much-hype for this new headphone.  I almost bought into it (though it doesn't matter since I can't get a new open headphone for another year or so).  It's also interesting that the actual SchiitShow 2015 Impressions thread is much more subdued regarding the Ether C - most early posters don't share the sentiments as Jude regarding the Ether C as a more fleshed out headphone ("neutral plus", whatever that means).  I've come to realize that there are only a few posters whose impressions I trust (both here and on H-F), but I still almost fell to the hype.

That said, the same people I trust seem mixed on the Ether C's (some love them, some think the Ether is better still), and I love marv's dose of reality in comparison.  I still think the Ether C looks incredible (better than the open Ether's IMO), but I'm not sure if I have any need for a closed headphone at home (I already am getting the PM-3 for portable and office use).  I really appreciate hearing all your impressions here.  I can't wait to hear Anax's thoughts on all these new flagships over at Tyll's... maybe they can get a pre-production Ether C to include in the battle? :)

Yeh HF are very good with the hype write ups which plays to the consumerist audience and yields them good returns.

Thanks for the Mj2 impressions vs the Ragnarok and original Mjolnir Marv. You've provided points of reference that I'm very familiar with. The Mj2 could just be the amp I've been waiting for since offloading the Rag. Didn't expect it to match the qualities that make the Rag so great, but an improvement over the original MJ and the option to roll some glass is a tempting proposition.

Multi-bit Gungnir only required 2-3 days to get up to speed. Keep in mind that Yggy when new required 7-10 days. Now it seems about 3-4 days, so it's likely the MB Gungnir would require even less after a certain time of usage. If you decide to leave it on, I'm sure the MB Gungnir sucks less wattage.
Interesting...this is for warm-up time and not burn-in time?

Seems like my budget has been blown up now. Gotta save up for the MB Gungnir.

Are you two talking about the same Ether?

Marv or anyone else, did you get a chance to talk to Dan (and possibly Jason) about the leak? How did Dan react?

The Mr speaker guys where  very apologetic.  Anytime they brought up the incident the guy kind of hanged his head.  Jason was pretty much over it that day.

As far as the thread on HF, I guess a moderator, possibly Jude, came in the thread later that night and cleaned up the trail of spy pix exclusives that a few HF turds left. One turd referenced link to the google cached content, another turd followed up by directly posting pix from the cache. I'm calling them turds because I really don't know how the world has come to this - just no respect given that the original posts from MrSpeaker Employee were edited to indicate "deleted".

I didn't speak to Dan on the matter because I felt really bad for him. I heard that when he found out, he was absolutely mortified. Dan's a nice guy, and this is probably the last thing he would have ever wanted to happen. And yes, the perpetrator was hanging his head in shame.

Ravi, as you know, if someone in the industries we work in did that, even out of ignorance, they would get fired immediately. Despite who they may know.
