I am looking at up-grading my Carver C1 pre and have been looking at the Freya+ and Freya S.
I have only a Turn Table set up for this application in a small cabinet that I have had tube amps in the past so I am aware of air circulation needs and have a special temp controlled audio fan I installed in the back along with leaving the door open on the front when in use as everything is stacked and tight inside. XLR to RCA unbalanced
I am using a dbx DriveRack PA2 in the chain along with Roon for room correction.
The chain:
Technics SL-1600 RCA out to:
Musical Surroundings Nova II phono pre with RCA out to:
Preamplifier ( currently RCA out on the C1 but with a Freya I could use the XLR out)
To:
dbx DriveRack PA2 with XLR to RCA unbalandes to:
Carver M-1.ot MK II opt.2 amp ( impedance 100k ohms) to
B&W 705's
and
Sunfire True Sub powered.
Would either of the Freya pre's be more suited to my application?
I am a old fart and like my music maybe a little less strident and I do not play loud.
Thank you soooo much for your time, help, and suggestions.
