Anyone running Schiit Audio Freya preamp and a pair of Vidar power amps? What speakers?
Love my Freya too. Using it with a Vincent SP-331. Can't imagine a better $700 pre-amp new, with warranty. Service is excellent too.@vunam- go to schiit.comTom 
Cary Audio SLP-05 w/Ultimate Upgrade vs my Schiit Freya
+1 lwin. 
Power on popping sound
In addition to the excellent advice from the above posters, always remember LOFO (amp is last on, first off). Turn-on sequence should always be: source(s), pre-amp, amp. Turn-off sequence should always be amp, pre-amp, source(s).Tom

@big_greg- thank you for the info! That's exactly what I'm wanting. Not an upgrade, just different. Warmer and more musical is right on the money.Tom
