    Like title says, Valhalla 2 with upgraded input and output tubes. The NY pyrate cove can testify to how good the combination sounds. I've had the amp for over a year and I've only recently replaced it with the Jotun. Comes with stock input tubes and a pair of russian tubes (brighter sounding) as well. Stock output tubes not included because they don't work anymore.

    Edit: Forgot to mention that I also have two pairs of socket savers on my V2. You can see that the tubes are raised. Helps with tube swapping and heat dissipation.

    $230 shipped and gifted for Established Friends or add 3.5% for paypal fees.
    $260 shipped and gifted for non-friends, or add 3.5% for paypal fees.

    How do the upgraded tubes compare to the stock ones?

    IIRC, the Orange Globes gave the Valhalla 2 a slightly warmer and wetter sound compared to the stock tubes. I never got to compare the stock and upgraded tubes since the stock tubes failed on me.

    $200 cash for anyone who wants to come pick this up from my house (Bronx) or office (FiDi). I'd rather sell this to someone here than some random scrub on HF. Deal is also for established friends or those who I've talked to before.

    Someone needs to hop in/on their mode of transport and get to you!

    How would you describe and rate the scent of your Valhalla 2? Any animal piss on it?

    Well, you didn't answer his question and we're all dying to know: are there any scratches/dings/dents/defects/abnormalities/goiters/growths/splotches/bruises/gashes/lacerations/indents/craters/discolorations/moles/warts/hotspots/birthmarks/tumors/etc on the unit?

    I'm up for giving this guy a troll response. Whoever's response gets the most upvotes/likes will be sent to him later tonight.

    "only some light scratches from my genital piercings, nothing that would affect the sound"

    "I'm afraid you don't understand: you can't actually pay me enough to sell this to you. All you're going to do is execute a paypal complaint after 5 months anyways. You're already dissatisfied. I can't make you happy. I refuse to try. Here is a link of some people who would love to sell to you: http://schiit.com/ But... they'll probably disappoint you, too. Just saying."

    Such annoying demands from a potential customer are actually a quite standard conversation (uhh, bargaining?) for local listings in my place, haha!
    Not that it changes anything on the end results though-- usually just a waste of keystrokes on the keyboard, 75% chance that in the end he won't buy or if he did buy he will still nag you for the next week or so.

    I'm interested, but alas, I'm in Europe. Can the Val 2 be switched to 230 V? I could provide the EU power cord. :)

    Nope, I don't believe so. If it was possible, I would have torn his arm off at the start of the thread, it's a great deal, and I've love to have a slightly scruffy but servicable Valhalla 2 for a song..

    He had me at "light scratches from my genital piercings", I feel strangely aroused. Oh wait, I've just realized that was your post. Got anything to sell? :)

    Muahaha, sadly the only things I am thinking of selling right now are a pair of Bose QC-25 and some Hifiman HE400i - but I have failed to rub myself lasciviously against either :cool:

    ..oh, and possibly an Allen and Heath Xone 42 mixer, and various CDJs.. ditto. No frottage, sorry.

    (Wow, I didn't realise. I should take some pictures and write some "for sale" ads!)

    Edit: Sorry for the threadjack, gunner. I'd totally rip your arm off for this deal, if it was 230v, suffice it to say. Consider this a free bump!
