Everyone else has refrained but I can't contain myself, I really could not take a SHIIT ARSEGUARD seriously ( unless it was for piles sufferers ), a little market research into naming the product would have been useful

Pronounced "Shit Ass Guard" Erm, I'm with you Chris.... not exactly the most "appealing" name for an amp I thought the "Mr. Doudou" was the crappiest but he was "Chinese" and didn't understand the English language (apparantly "doudou" in Chinese is some type of god"..... The "shit ass guard" is apparantly from the USA...... the last I heard the USA spoke a modicum of "English"? "Shit Arse Guard" would suggest I am purchasing some form of anal sex toy.... not a headphone amp from an "English speaking" vendor ;D So funny

In Nordic mythology Asgard is the place where the gods live. Odin, Thor etc. The "good" guys.
Valhalla (in Danish Valhal) is Odin's place where the slain warriors are taken after battle.

Got to give them credit for the fact that everyone that has heard of the company are talking about them in all the headphone forums. Combine the recognizeable name with good looking products with good design concepts at a good price... Bad Asgard Business Style that could send the competition to Valhalla

I have been reading the posts in HF and in HC, they are very positive which may be FOTM. One thing is that they run very hot so they are not "green amps". Not that I care ...

I want to listen to the valve version, some of the early reports from America seem very positive, especially for the price

........ Valhalla (in Danish Valhal) is Odin's place where the slain warriors are taken after battle. What a fitting name for an OTL amp. That is where we take the headphones after they have been destroyed by a failure in the amp design..........
