    Yeah. The new ones have the upper mid aggressiveness fixed.

    What?? That was the main issue I had with the Jot when I tried it on the loaner. When did this change happen?

    @Marvey- yeah, it was good sounding every time I heard it before, but feeding it the Gungnir Multibit definitely takes it up a couple notches. And it's waaay smoother to my ears than the early impressions.

    Heard Bill-P's Jotunheim recently and it sounded much better than I remembered. They've done something to them

    @Melvillian I was surprised how even sounding it was straight out of the box with no burn in. I'm sure I'll have more to say as I listen more. I just wanted a competent SS balanced solution for my LCD-3s

    How do we know what is a new Jot and old Jot?

    @Grahad2 I guess I don't, actually. But there is no upper mid/lower treble fuckery I can detect, so I'm a happy customer.

    Is this true? If you don't have the expansion card you can just make out the revision number inside (upper right through the vent holes) mine is 1.01

    I think Marv is messing with us.

    @Dino maybe he is. It really sounded warmer to me though. I owned a Jot paired with a Modi Multibit for a while and didn't like it. This time when i heard it, the chain was Gungnir Multibit balanced to Jot with balanced out to HD6X0. So maybe the fully balanced chain and Gungnir Multibit made it sound better?

    @Mdkaler The front of the manual says revision A, random number 0.

    @Dino if it is a Marvey mind-trick, well played! Not that it really matters, as I really like the sound

    Can you peek into the vents and get the board revision? See internal pics above.

    If my hunch is wrong, maybe they will tackle the headstage next. :)

    @Melvillian think I had a comment somewhere here about the Jot surprisingly source scaleable-- it really is
