    I wish to join. I've been heavily contemplating the Jotunheim purchase for use with my Elear. It'll also be good to hear the HD650 again-- it's been too long.

    The Jotunheim can hook up to a computer's onboard audio even with the phono right? I'll just be bypassing the phono.

    Been thinking about replacing my LC with a Jot, so would definitely be up for a comparo first. As well as comparing my HD600 to the 650. NYC.

    I know I'm late to the party, but would be cool to test this out vs my rag/ Sutherland 3d combo. Located in Maine.

    Please add me too. I was thinking about grabbing a Joti for my blackwood and vibro. I'd also like to see how the hd800 and 650 sound on Valhalla 2 vs Jodi. I'm driving these with multifrost.

    Thnks much!

    hello,

    holy Schitt! just the Jotunheim with no pesky Senns to worry about? sign me up if possible (i know i have been on a lot of loaner lists lately.)

    from the impressions i have been reading this might just be the ticket for MrsForBin.

    we are in Slaughter County, WA.

    I'd prefer the HD650 as well, but my main attraction is the Jotunheim.
