Schiit Freya +


Read some interesting reviews of the Schiit Freya +  tube based pre-amplifier.

Seems like it competes way above its price range.

Has anyone any direct experience with it?

Thanks

Thanks; migrating into a higher price point.

may revisit Audio Mirror after all

good price

good size

I bought a Loki but returned it after a couple of weeks.  Did not care for it at all.  I find it to be a beer budget sound.  Funny though, I bought a Bellari EQ570 to replace the Loki and I like it so much better. 

Had the original Freya (with tubes). Kept it for a few years until it started making "tube farts". Debated on buying new tubes then read a glowing review of the Topping Pre90. Bought it and compared them. Kept the Top, sold the Schiit.

I sold my Freya plus and shipped it to the guy and he's called and said it's making a crackling noise? Sounds like it's coming from the tubes. Anyone have experience this? Does it in all three modes! The stepped attenuator isn't the problem he says.

I should've mentioned also from now on if and when I sell any tube gear the tubes are free and not warranted, there just a bonus item. I'm probably gonna have to buy him some more tubes. 
 

Does schiit warranty there gear to the next buyer? Five year warranty and only 2 years old?
