How do you like your Valhalla 2? I have a pair of Oppo PM-3s on the way to me, and in a couple of months I will be upping the game a bit. The Vali 2 and Valhalla 2 are on my short list, but I think I'd prefer the Valhalla 2 primarily due to the drive stage being tubes (as opposed to the Vali 2 being a hybrid).
I'm loving it after about 40-50 hours of burn in. It was kind of sibilant but it went away after I let the tubes run for the burn in period mentioned. The separation, clarity and power are very impressive, even with the stock tubes. I plan on upgrading the tubes eventually and then enjoying it fully. (been getting some recommendations from various people) I have only used the Valhalla 2 with my Senn 600, so I can't comment on how they sound with anything else. I have heard the Valhalla 2 is a clear step or two up from the Vali 2 (I had the Vali 1 and loved it). I haven't heard the Vali 2 so I can't comment on that either.
