Schiit's solid-state 6SN7

So you want to try a tube preamp, and you hear that 6SN7 tubes are supposed to be a good sound, then yadda yadda yadda, you wind up with some solid state schiit. Lol. Is it an interesting idea? Sure. Is it possibly longer lifespan compared to tubes? Maybe. If it sounds good, that’s all that matters. So far I’ve yet to see (er, I guess hear?) them put out a bad product compared to their asking price, so only time will tell how this is received.

Whatever this product is, specifically, there are a number of things that are true about Schiit -- they try new things, they don't lie, and they don't take themselves too seriously. Their stuff is well made and they have good customer service.

Modern tubes are pretty reliable and last a long time. Mine will likely outlast me. Why turn your tube preamp into a solid state unit. Just buy solid state to being with.

Steve Guttenberg just reviewed the Freya+ with these. He likes it.

Personally I don´t get the product. Usually people get tube amps for a reason and the reason rarely is that it should sound like a solid state. But for a reasonable price people who do want to have that option now have one.
