Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

Passive mode doesn't cut it for me... (and thanks to all that posted to this thread)...

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!
