Schiit Freya S or Freya +?
Listening tonite, maybe 28 hrs on the unit. I’ve noticed it’s very clear and smooth, with a nice soundstage, but mid bass seems a bit less pronounced than my old Acurus. Not sure that will change much, I doubt it, so I may need to move the speaker... 
Schiit Freya S or Freya +?
Thanks Scott. I have my tuner running through it right now but the amp is off (it tubed). I’m hoping this will accelerate any break in.  
Schiit Freya S or Freya +?
Samac,got my Freya S tonight and have it up and running. Very nice for just a few hours on it. In your experience how long is break in, and what should I expect to change during that time? 
Schiit Freya S or Freya +?
I purchased the Freya S, it will be arriving this Monday. It will be replacing my old Acurus LS11.  The amp is a ARC Classic 60, that’s why I didn’t get the + version. I’ve had good success mixing Tube and SS, in this case a Tube amp with a solid ... 
Need help with speaker wire connection to ARC Classic 60
So I ended up just crimping on hoops and soldering.  Nothing fancy or gold plated, but they are nice and secure. 
Need a line stage preamp
I’m a bit confused and maybe just dont understand, can you explain what the 10k input impedance is all about? How it affects things. I would not be using the Freya in passive mode but active.my source components are a Parasound JC3+ phono (100 ohm... 
Need a line stage preamp
Al,the output impedance (single ended) is 75 ohms and the input impedance on my amp is 100k. I thought the ratio had to be min 1:10?

Right now the Schiit Freya S looks interesting.   
Need help with speaker wire connection to ARC Classic 60
I have no desire to modify the amp.  I ordered some Kimber Kable 8tc in bi-wire configuration with bananas on the speaker end and bare wire on the amp end so I can terminate once I found the right solution. One thought I had was to bend the wire i... 
Need recommendations on stand mount speakers
As far as I know, no manufacturers has called me to set up an in home design charette to design speakers tuned to my ears. But hey, the day is young.also, shoes wear out.  
Need recommendations on stand mount speakers
Team,So did as much listening and research as I could handle (patience is not my greatest virtue) and I kept being drawn back to the Canton Reference 9.2 dc.  Not well known in the states, but, like my Thiel, they make their own drivers.  I believ... 
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
Smellman,i own the exact Decware unit you speak of and it worked well with my Omen Def MK II’s, though it’s currently not in use.tube rolling greatly affects the sound btw.  
Need recommendations on stand mount speakers
Team,thanks for for all of your input. Lots of interesting suggestions, some in my price range some not, but all very interesting. I will not be able to audition most unfortunately, since I am in a black hole of brick and mortar audio stores, so I... 
First, Fix Your Skull
