No problem @peterf6 I like the Freya, its a fine preamp. I rolled in some pretty amazing 6sn7's and the personality of the Freya didn't change a whole lot. Indeed, thats a good news, bad news kind of result. Bad news is its difficult to change the characteristics of the Freya through tube rolling and the good news is, think of the money you will save not having to tube roll. YMMV, just make sure they are matched and quiet which means buy from a reputable dealer like Upscale or McShane or Brent Jesse. Peace.
Which Preamp Tube is most consequential: Input or Gain
I've just gotten a pair of 1950s Tung-Sols for my Schiit Freya to replace two of the stock Russian NOS 6SN7. I will try them in both positions, but is there a typical position of more impact in terms of rolling preamp tubes in the input vs. gain positions? Thanks for any experience you'd like to share.
