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 ?

I had two of the Freya+, both bad from the factory.

They run very hot.  Volume control and remote were nice.

The sound was fine in the two SS modes, but trying to use the tubes was impossible.  I would call the sound neutral.

FWIW - Schiit was very responsive and replaced the first unit and refunded on the second.
