Be prepared to spend a sizable sum to get a significant improvement. I just upgraded from the original Freya to an Atma-Sphere MP 3. The Atma is 10 times the price of the Freya and considered to be one of the better preamps available at any cost. Is there an improvement? Sure. But it also shows me how good the Freya really is.
Have you upgraded from a Freya?
I have had a Freya+ for a few years and like it a lot, but still get to thinking what another notch up the ladder might bring. Looking for feedback and impressions from folks who have upgraded from the Freya. I mainly use the solid state buffered mode, my listening sessions tend to be shorter and I don't turn on the tubes very often. The rest of the chain past the preamp is Coda #8 -> LS50's.
