+1 Schitt Freya+. Nicely designed and built, not crazy expensive, selectable tube or passive mode (tube circuit disabled when not selected) and sounds stunning through a Krell KAV-250A into a pair of Polk SDA SRS gen1. Just my opinion.
Tube Preamps that work well with SS amps?
I'm looking for a tube preamp after years of strictly SS. My amps will remain SS. Which tube preamp(s) in your experience mated well with a SS amp? I'm trying to avoid the odd phenomenon where tube preamp + SS amp = slow, soggy sound in spite of benign impedance characteristics
