Best preamp under 1500$ freya+ , cary slp03 ?

Hi, I'm looking for a tube pre with balanced connection.

I read good and bad comments about freya+

Cary slp03 can be better ?

The Schiit I have purchased has been good for the money. But it is highly likely the Cary will be a better sounding preamp. I have heard various Cary equipment during the years.

Wow, that’s amazing and I stand corrected. Manufactured in the US and fully balanced from input to output at that price point? What?!? Truly amazing.
