Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile


I know there are a lot of audiophiles who don't think sterophile knows what they are talking about but I think its' pretty impressive that a 1000 preamp is put in the same category as 50K and up.  I can't really believe that the Freya + is that good.  I have one and do think it's pretty amazing for all that you get and you can really make it even better with some better tubes.  I am constantly blown away at the sound of the Freya + into the Decware Zen triode amp. 2K for the combo and just about the best sound I have ever had in my home.  Great news for less well heeled audiophiles.

@wolf_garcia 

did you change all 4 of the tubes to NOS GE tubes?

is there a model number for the NOS GE tubes?

For a newbie, could any of you please list the exact tubes you've upgraded to that have been a really nice upgrade?  (also which tube position they are?)

@eljif or anyone else:

……,are these the CBS Hytron 5692 tubes you are referring too? And you put two on the input side? (Which I’m not sure which side is which!?
