| Leave preamp on all day, off at night Tube amps warm up relatively fast so I suggest turning the thing on when you want to hear it and off when you don't. To sum up: On, off...repeat when necessary... | |
| Surprised Sub BASS...like the fish (well...maybe not), although sub "woofer" is still my preferred moniker for such things. If it’s sub bass, well...it’s simply not going to be audible, unless it’s referring to actual sub strata bass like a subway train und... | |
| Schiit not shipping Nothing messes with a product like extreme and perhaps unexpected success...ouch. | |
| Removing spikes... Now my speakers sing Note that if you live in a large (or even medium sized) tent in a desert someplace, the spikes can go right through a rug into sand and possibly fall over into a hookah...nobody needs that... | |
| Surprised I've owned a REL Q150e (10" front firing 150 watt) for 7 or 8 years and eventually added a Q108II (8" downfiring 100 watts). Both were purchased used but in great shape for 200 buck each, and they still show up on Ebay or wherever for close to tha... | |
| Schiit not shipping Another solution to Schiit's shipping issues is to raise the price of the Freya by maybe a thousand bucks or so. Problem solved. | |
| Removing spikes... Now my speakers sing I'm not getting rid of cabinet vibration with Vibrapods, I'm simply not letting it get into the floor where it can be reflected back into the speaker. | |
| Schiit not shipping That's it...the beer commercial fans are over-ordering Freyas! I nearly bought a Saga but I like the 3 way "tube-non tube switching" (the Saga has that also...just one less stage), balanced ins and outs, and, of course, the sound of the Freya...an... | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? I think growing some sort of moss in the midrange horn should work...thick mold also does the job...doll house furnishings tiny shag carpets...dryer lint... | |
| Removing spikes... Now my speakers sing Shag rug...is it lime green? That's a fave... | |
| How to check a speaker is Genuine or Fake It's possible that fake speakers would be so rare that they're worth more. | |
| How much power can a pair of Klipsch La Scalas take ? I punish my Heresy IIIs with a massive 12 single ended tube watts per side. They can take it, but after maybe a couple of watts I can't...too loud. | |
| Removing spikes... Now my speakers sing I've been using Vibrapods for years to decouple speakers from a suspended wood floor and they work perfectly. Speakers are clearer and help make the world a better place, as far as places go. | |
| Schiit not shipping This entire issue is my fault because I've been saying nice things about my Freya (which I think I waited maybe a month for when they were in backorder limbo last November). I still think it's a cool, great sounding preamp, and mine didn't have a ... | |
| Best balanced linestage/preamp for $4000 or less ??? My Freya is quiet even with the stock tubes (I looked pretty hard for the much feared microphony in those...none was to be found, and no hum or hiss in my well sorted rig), and they now offer new Tung Sols as a factory option as well as the SS tub... |
