FeatureSignificantly Improved Performance We used what we learned in Mjolnir to significantly improve Asgard 2's performance. A high-voltage, cascoded JFET gain stage feeds a high-current Class A MOSFET output section. The 80V rails on the gain stage allow us to reduce distortion, while retaining Asgard's no-overall-feedback design in high-gain mode.
Additional Versatility: From IEMs to Orthos to Active Monitors Asgard 2 offers two gain settings. The low-gain mode is perfect for high-sensitivity IEMs, while the high-gain mode is ideal for most other headphones, up to and including many orthodynamics. In addition, the preamp outputs can easily be connected to powered speakers, for a complete desktop system.
Made in USA By "made in USA," we mean made in USA. The vast majority of the total production cost of Asgard 2-chassis, boards, transformers, assembly, etc-goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. Our board house is 20 minutes away from our office in Newhall. Our chassis guys are just over the hill in the Valley.
15-Day Satisfaction Guarantee Try Asgard 2 in your own house for 15 days. If you don't like it, simply send it back for a refund, minus a 5% transaction fee. Try spending 15 days in an audio store. They'll kick you out. Unless you buy them donuts. Maybe.
