Solid-state alternative to Freya +

I just bought a new set of matched Rogers tubes for my Freya + and they should arrive after Thanksgiving. But it is a budget-buster for me.

What would you suggest as a solid-state alternative?
Will I be able to sell the Freya + at a premium with the new tubes?

Thanks Audiogon community!

The new Schitt Mjolnir (sp?) headphone/preamp is better to my ears by a lot. I tried this preamp with my Magnepan LRS+ and CODA #16 and Magtech amps. It was great and such a fun listen. It is my warmest sounding preamp. However, my best warmish preamp is the Holo Serene. This thing is silent like the Benchmark LA4 but it adds a tinge of warmth. The Mjolnir \| LA4 \| Serene are my end game preamps.
