213runnin, I don't have a Freya so take this with a grain of salt, but my tube preamp runs 4 12ax7 tubes and gets only a bit warm to the touch. However, the tubes are situated inches under the cover versus above the cover. So not sure why your pre gets so warm, maybe another Freya owner will chime in.
tube rolling with Schiit Freya +
Just purchase a Schiit Freya + preamp and would like do some tube rolling. The preamp is connected to pair of Passlabs X260.8. I really like the sound but want to experiment with different variants of the 6SN7 tubes.
Schiit customer service sent me an overview of different tubes with some descriptions of their characteristics which helps but I thought this forum of any users based on actual experience would also help. I'm looking for a fatter ( more tubey) sound with emphasis on the midrange
Thank
