I cant speak on the Freya+ but I have had a ARC LS15 for over 15 years and its a great preamp. I've change tube to Tele 7dj8 and its sounds fabulous. Its now in a second system with a ARC LS25mki taking its place.

Hey bkeske, I was looking at Swagman Labs but to many issues with shipping has stopped me for now. What LPS did you go with?
