Haven't done direct comparison obviously, but BW is a lot smoother and therein a better match for HD800. Mojo2 still has that hyper-dynamic, kinda spitty attack that can be startling and fatiguing.

You think this applies for the HD600/650 as well? Regardless, I was thinking about the Mojo2, but perhaps I'd want something a bit smoother? I really like a very dynamic, powerful sound, but not if it's going to make the treble rough, spitty, too sharp, or whatever. Maybe I'll still need an Eddie Current amp down the road.

Hans

I used marvs hd650 with the mojo 2 solid to listen to Alice in chains acustic and the  tremble was just really fast didn't really go that high.

The tubes make the mojo2 have more forgiving highs, so I don't think you have to worry but I wasn't able to use the hd650, had to give it back to Marv.

Maybe for you Hans. I could easily roll with that sound with a 600.

I think what you're looking for might be a Cavalli LG...maybe.

OK, I know I'm not the only person that is still curious and not 100% clear on this. Anyone know how the Val2 and Mojo2 compare w/ high impedance cans? In what ways are they different, better, about the same, or worse? Just asking because of how highly recommended the Val2 is w/ high impedance headphones.

Gimme a dick slap and tell me to look closer if I missed something.

Marv can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Val2 will pretty much always have more of a smooth and refined character inherent to it's sound whereas the Mjolnir2 will be much more capable in transparency and most all the technicalities while taking its original aggressive treble and sonic character down a notch into a more refined but very dynamic and clearer signature.

Vali 2 is good with high Z cans. Vali 2 is bad with efficient cans (noise) and inefficient orthos (low output Z).

So, if we were to compare the two amps just in regards to treble presentation (aggressiveness, perceived quantity, roughness, etc. etc.), and assuming, say, same tube setup, what would you think?

Also, is the Mojo2 warmer in tone than the Val2? I saw several people mention it as being warmish when paired with MB Gungnir.

Valhalla 2, sorry. Should also mention that the comments about Mojo 1 and 2 being very dynamic is something I'm looking for in an amp.
