| Thinking Out Loud Hooked up TT through zphono and into Freya+. Had to turn on the rumble filter on the zphono with the Freya in solid state mode, but didn’t need it for tube mode. Again, I most notice the high sounds with the tubes and not the warm mellowness oth... | |
| Thinking Out Loud Today I hooked the Freya+ into my system. It was a pain in ass just getting everything apart. I see photos of others’ systems here and the cables are so neat — mine looks like a mass of spaghetti tied into a Gordian knot! I ended up disassembli... | |
| Thinking Out Loud @ozzy62, my amp is Parasound A21.I think I will print out the instructions here so I can follow them as needed. Thanks again for your input. | |
| Thinking Out Loud Thanks lowrider, interesting reading! | |
| Thinking Out Loud I have yet to experiment with adding the Freya to my system, Will try some combinations and see what pleases. Thank you for all your suggestions. | |
| Thinking Out Loud @chorus, My listening room is 14’ x 19’, knotty pine paneled with brick fireplace. Gear is against one of the short walls with frequent foot traffic passing right in front. Haven’t used any room treatments but I have a large upholstered sectiona... | |
| Thinking Out Loud @oldhvymec, @jtcf, I have a Parasound zphono usb that I’m not using. THAT could be the phono stage to use into the Freya? 😳 | |
| Thinking Out Loud I was confused when I posted about needing dac to play vinyl. I have a Denon DP-300f turntable and a number of records that I do play. The Denon has a switch that it calls an “equalizer” that is turned off when the TT is plugged into the preamp ph... | |

| A MEMBER IN NEED OF SUPPORT To david_ten: Sorry to hear of the ordeal you have all been going through down there. Thankfully, you are all alive, and the rest can be rebuilt. Take care. | |
| One box do it all I have never heard this, but before I decided to spend more on separates, I considered this receiver by Outlaw:https://www.cnet.com/tech/home-entertainment/outlaw-audio-rr-2160-the-audiophile-choice-for-stereo-r...It puts out 110W per channel and ... | |
| So where should the tubes be? I was on another forum and a guy that identified himself as honcho at Bob Carver company stated that the place to start with tubes is the amplifier. This was different than the opinions of many here that the preamp is the place to start with tube... | |
| What is wrong with my system? I don’t know if anyone else is like me, but the more I spend on something, the more I question whether it is really better. Say, if I was over at a friend’s house and he was playing his $5,000 system, and then I go back to my (only in my dreams) ... | |
| Parasound Preamp I’m considering buying a Schiit Freya tube preamp as an option to the P5 I now use with an A21 amp. I am curious about that “tube sound” others talk about. | |
| Loudest Sound Ever? As I have gotten older, I have less tolerance for very loud music. At a rock concert, I have been known to pack my ears with cotton so that I can enjoy the music without grimacing in pain. At home, my listening level is low-to-medium — definitel... |
