| Schiit Freya+(Plus) Thank you for an excellent idea. Will find a suitable test recording handy on both LP and CD, plus streamable from Tidal. (CD runs COAX into DAC rather than RCA into Freya -- a test within a test). Given any takeaways I can then experiment with NO... | |

Speaker grilles: just learning from others, nothing insightful to add.Pending removal, the difficulty of parody is a two-way street... | |
| Schiit Freya S or Freya +? Great grandmother Effortless Grace -- LOL! | |
| Is it all worth it? Uber,thanks.Used market hadn't occurred to me. Will go shopping. Overture won't respond to my emails anyhow. You'd think, with a name like that . . . | |
