I also like George's analysis. You may need to change the tubes on the Freya, but I hear its quite nice.... as George mentioned about gain. On the Freya, be prepared that each stage, Passive, SS and Tubed will all have a different amount of gain. It can throw you off a bit. Tim
New Schiit Freya or used Conrad Johnson PV-10AL/BL, or?
Looking to buy a line stage tube preamp with an $800 budget. Considering the options. I can use this preamp with either a Vincent SP-331 or McIntosh MC2200, whichever is a better match.
