Hi All,
Before I buy new just checking to see if anyone has a Valhalla 2 they want to part with. I am interested to try an OTL amp and this looks like an inexpensive way to do it. Feel free to message me, Thanks!

Thanks for the link @Earmuffs. I did not know of that site. Nothing for sale now in the US, but I did see a bunch of really, really expensive cables from Nordost. Holly cow.
Thanks again.
Just remember the Valhalla 2 is a very transparent amp. If that’s what you want go for it!
Yes, that’s what I have read, and thanks for letting me know. No doubt some folks buy it expecting an old school tube sound. I have been on the fence between this and a Lyr 3 but looking for a solid inexpensive contrast to the Class A Asgard 2 (which I love) so decided to go OTL rather than hybrid. I know the Lyr 3 is also much loved and it is only $150 difference, but I think the Valhalla will rock with my 300 ohm headphones. Thanks again for warning me!
There were several on ebay recently but all sold and none there now. If you do buy new and don’t really like it you can send it back / if you like it you have a 5 year warranty. I love mine and it works great with my 600, 80 and 32 ohm headphones. I’ve rolled a couple of dozen tubes and if you have any questions PM me.
Hi @Regaet, thanks for the info. If I do not see a really good deal I will buy one new, I have worked with Schitt before and their service is great. And a warranty is nice. I have a batch of good 6SN7s that I am going to adapt into this in the 6N1P stage. Of course these tubes fit straight into the Lyr 3, but I just have a feeling I’ll have more fun with the Valhalla 2. We’ll see!
Did you end up finding one? They sell for a great price on their own website too
No, not yet. I am going to just get one new I think if I do not get tempted by something else. $350 on their site with warranty is hard to beat
I have a ampsandsound kenzie im selling but is a tad more expensive but definitely worth it. Look into that amp and let me know if you are interested
Hi Earmuffs, I saw that some days ago and it is a killer deal for sure, but I am not liquid enough right now for that price range. But as a ZMF user (exclusively) I know it would be a match made in heaven. Times don’t allow it though…If I can’t sleep over it, I’ll DM you about it. Thanks.
Well if you change your mind i will discount it down and just realize you will have tubes for the next twenty years lol. This will be a tube amp you could live with for the rest of ypur life. I just have too many amps and need money
