Update on tube rolling of Freya+.
After using Russian 68ns made in 1978 tube for a while at gain stage, I switched to RCA gray bottle 4 days ago keeping Sylvania vt231 at buffer stage.
With RCA gray bottle at gain stage, it sound round and full almost like analog.
I enjoy " I left my heart in San Francisco" .
It remind me of my old days.
I had lived in Berkeley hill overlooking Golden Gate bridge from 1984 to 1987.
The only missing thing is that RCA gray seems to give slightly less details than 68ns.
Then about 2 days ago, I replaced Rca gray bottle with Kenrad vt231.
Wow this is an endgame combination.
It sound full and sweet with enough air.
"Cry me a river" by Diana Krall sounds so emotional that I do not need to spend more time on tube rolling on Freya+.
Kenrad vt231 at gain stage and Sylvania vt231 at buffer stage leave nothing to be desired.
