| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes I received Melz 1578 tube 2 hours ago.It blew my mind with nice decay and body, deep bass, wide and deep soundstage.I had not been blown by TS bgrp just impressed with its transparency.To me this one is one tier better than TS bgrp.I am listening ... | |
| Schiit Freya+ vs. high end (e.g., Mcintosh) ? I heartily recommend Freaya +. it is much better than its price and also lot of room for tube rolling.The only problem is it is back ordered to June 17th.But if you order now, they will ship on the date.Thomas | |

| Line Magnetic 518 + Piano, special? I had not done direct comparison of Lm 508 and 518.But I am happy with LM 508 with 48 watts twice of LM 518.It is also a dream amp for tube rolling using pair of 805, 300B, 6sn7 and single 6sl7. | |
| In the middle of a pandemic, Stereophile reviews ~ $30K equipment This one appears to be luxury version of Lyngdorf 3400. Both are made in Denmark but not by same company.They may share some technology.Someone will spend money without caring about pandemic.Actually some people make more money due to pandemic. | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes i bought 1578 tube on the condition that I can return it if it give too much noise.Also I do not need to pay tax here unlike Ebay.I expect to get it coming this Friday. | |
| Missing tube integrated for Klipsch Forte III? Considering the big listening space of OP, I also recommend adding subwooffer.If he want to use tube amp, then I recommend used Rogue Cronus Magnum II with kt120 tube which has lot of power and good extension to the top.Thomas | |

| What's the best integrated amp in the $1500-$2000 range? Used Rogue Cronus Magnum II around 1500$ will drive most of speaker well.Actually you have to specify your speaker since synergy between amp and speaker is important. | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes My amps have no internal switch for 12 volt filament.Thus I can not use 12sn7 | |
| Schiit Freya+(Plus) Regarding OP’s problem of Freya+ sounding too lush over the top.I also found Freya lush but not over the top.Stock tubes does not sound harsh but veiled.If you spend 50$ per pair of Sylvania GTB tubes made in 1950’s from Ebay, then it will sound m... | |
| Schiit Freya+(Plus) @ oldhvymec I had enjoyed my Freya + for three weeks without issue.But I also noticed it runs hot.Do you have good ventilation around it?It shall not be under the shelf.If you keep having problem, it is better to contact Schitt support.They will... | |
