never has. Tried one (or two...) passives a few years ago with a well loved
tube amp and it just didn't "enliven" the music properly for my tastes.
One was a well-regarded Aural Thrills Deluxe Passive. Nice equipment but a
bit too "sterile" for my tastes, desires. The passive with the Saga+ is just OK
but, well, not tube flavored.
This Saga+ with a Tung-Sol 6SN7GT is just right. Tried two other (one stock)
tubes and that was... OK.
Actually the gain on this is acceptable overall (also never go beyond
3:00, it's the tube rolling aspect(s) of the Freya N that are nipping at my brain.
BUT, more gain won't be a bad thing at all, here.
REALLY like the Class D, tube pre combo these daze, so the Freya N seems
a good choice financially, physically and practically. I do dig the Schiit approach
to audio too.
Perhaps this is just another tube rolling post on my part?
Shame on me!
