Schiit freya preamp - any owners out there? Leave it on?


Evaluating schiit freya preamp and it seems like a good preamp.

is simply leaving it on all the time make sense as switch is in back and that is not the greatest. Mode can be changed to passive which reduces current flow to tubes so electricity use is less.

is this preamp worth buying when ht is used most of the time? Thanks

The switch in back is inconvenient. That said I love my Freya +. Best Buy’s IMO like Teton DI and Oppo 205.;I sit it in front of my stack and always power down when done. Never leave anything on as heat accelerates aging no matter what the component is, active or passive.

The email customer service guy at Schiit leaves a lot to desired with his responses. IDK, maybe he is overwhelmed but I’ve never had a question answered adequately. He will answer but not put much thought or effort to it.
