I can clarify my thinking for you kalali...For a NEW preamp it's less expensive than everything you noted, and if I see a great sounding balanced tube preamp out there with the interesting and unique pile of features the Freya has for 700 bucks, I'll maybe change my thinking. Somebody may start making something to compete with it, but so far there's nothing I've noticed...Otherwise, it seems to be exactly as inexpensive as I think it is.
tubesforhifi VTA sp14 or shiit freya
any thoughts on a VTA sp14 for about $1,000 or a shiit freya preamp for $700? I would be using it with a hafler 500 that has been restored with new caps and dahlquist dq10s or dq20s with the thought of buying a pair of magnepan .7 or 1.7s in the fall. I have a marantz 8005 cd player or pandora as a source. My room is 18 by 24 thanks, alex
