    In this episode of Head-Fi TV, we get a first look at the new Schiit Audio Jotunheim, which Schiit is calling a configurable balanced headphone amp and preamp--or even a "configurable desktop center"--but that most of us will probably end up calling something else.

    More than ten years ago, Val Kolton called me to introduce himself and his company V-MODA--they've come a long way since then. Roland of Japan took notice, and decided to join forces with V-MODA, which is being officially announced today. We had a chance to talk to Val Kolton (CEO of V-MODA) in New York City (just before he headed out to Japan for the announcement), and he told us about how this deal came to be, and what it means for the future of Roland and V-MODA.

Great to see you finally breaking through to iTunes, Jude. Followed it since it started and will hopefully follow it for a long, long time to come.

Love the format, love the content. Brilliant series and I'm only disappointed when it ends!

Anyone interested in headphones or just good sound in general...subscribe and enjoy.
