I have had excellent service from Schiit...I was shipped a new Aegir and when I suspected it to be "too sensitive," meaning it shut itself down too easily, they arranged for a new one with the return of the old one immediately, free of charge and really could not have been nicer or more professional. I own a few things from Schiit, a couple of headphone amps and a Loki, as well as an original version Freya (mine is dead quiet and sonically transparent in all 3 modes)...a GREAT preamp and the new Freya + might be better...note there’s nothing like these things at any price, and if the super accurate level change click bothers anybody, who cares? It simply means it’s working, and it works amazingly well. I think the response to Schiit’s products is overwhelmingly positive with some outliers certainly as they ship a lot of stuff, but don’t dismiss ’em without more research as they're an astonishing bargain in most cases. By the way, there are MANY sources for great 6SN7GTBs including Viva Tubes, and my preferred are GE NOS...plentiful and great sounding.
