Schiit taking orders (as of Dec 23) on Freya preamp

@lak
Agreed...
it does look like the currently offered LISST tubes are designed for Mjolnir or Lyr - NOT Freya.
I though I read something on HeadFi about LISST for Freya...it might even have been Jason talking about a future LISST offering for Freya. Will have to see if I can find that.  Let you know if I do.

Just to be certain I sent an email to Schiit and here's the reply I received back:
I am sorry, but LISST tubes are currently only recommended with the Schiit Lyr 2 and Schiit Mjolnir 2. They are designed to be used with our Hybrid Amps. The LISST tubes replace tube type 6922, while the Freya uses tube type 6SN7 or 6H8C.

I disagree with "turn volume all the way up - and here is your bypass", as I guarantee that one day you will switch inputs forgetting to lower your volume - and blow your speakers/amp/ears.
I believe that omitting this feature is a mistake, and for myself is unfortunately the reason I have to pass on this otherwise very promising preamp.

I mentioned elsewhere I also wondered about the Loki, and ordered a Freya (these 2 things aren’t related). So there. 

Just ordered the Vidar amp. Plan on getting a second unit in January.
so any review will come after I have both setup. Excited.
Just received an email from Schiit Audio (Nick T) answering my question
about turning off amps between listens. I assumed I was going to leave
both amps on 24/7. Nick says; It can be left on but draws about 60W idle.
That sounds like running a 120w light bulb continuously. That being the
case, I will probably shut them down when not in use. Comments.
