This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio!


Do yourself a favor and watch this when you have a few quiet moments.

The guys from Schitt Audio talk candidly in a way that is almost abnormal for manufacturers.  I found it informative, hilarious at times, and totally refreshing.

Since my Freya and power amp both use 6SN7GTBs I now have a pile of these things, and the original tubes (mystery Russian 6N8S) sounded fine. No microphonics from those or NOS RCAs, Sylvania, or new version Tung Sols...I currently have RCAs in the input and Sylvanias in the output. Great sounding tubes, great sounding preamp.
Hi Tom,

Was just delivered. Need to get it opened and fire it up. The original sadly never made it. Probably stuck on a dock somewhere. I have lots of NOS tubes to try as my monoblocks use the same.  I'll give it a listen and report back.

Watch out pushing in and pulling out the tubes supplied with the Freya, they are fine sounding but cheap as the plastic centre locator pin has a habit of snapping off, so don't wiggle "too much" as your pulling them out.

Cheers George
