1) Bifrost 2 + SW51+ (with Tungsram) + HD650
Very open sounding. Crystal clear mids that are smooth yet dynamic. Tactile drum kicks and stare hits. Detailed but not fatiguing.
2) Bifrost 2 + Asgard 3 + ZMF Aeolus w/ Perforated Suede Pads
Perforated suede pads are too neutral on most chains for me, but the Asgard 3 fills it in a bit more. Despite ZMF popularity on tubes, I think Aeolus sounds the best off a solid state. Aeolus is too well behaved and smooth on tubes. Aeolus doesn't have a ton of detail, so doesn't really care that the Asgard 3 isn't crazy detailed.
@jnak00 I have a Jot 2 and agree it's a good pairing with the Aeolus. Agree with the more aggressive nature, it wakes up the Aeolus. My favorite pairing there is Jot 2 balanced in balanced out and on high gain with STOCK universe leather pads. I prefer suede pads so I bounce to the Asgard 3 for that combo or do Jot 2 with 1/4" out on high gain.
