I'm interested in the announced Freya balanced tube-gain remote control preamp. Not yet listed for sale on their webpage, however, but to be priced about $700 -- sounds like heck of a bargoon.
Freya specs:
Balanced Remote Passive/Active Preamp
= Relay switched stepped attenuator (128 steps)
= Selectable passive, JFET buffer, or tube gain operation
= Tube gain stage uses (4) 6SN7 tubes and 300V rail
= 2 balanced inputs, 3 SE inputs, balanced and SE outputs
= Full remote control
= Shipping October 2016 for $699
I love the music of Dmitri Shostakovich ...

Thanks for the insight on the new Schitt preamps, will be watching for reviews. I love my audio gear (which includes a Schitt DAC, ARC, and Merlin speakers), but boy have some prices gotten high. Good for you guys at Schitt, Elac, Emotive, NHT, and others that can bring a good sounding system to someones home at an affordable price for those that don't belong in an Asylum! Maybe we should consider a section titled "Dirt Poor Inmates" for systems under $2K -$4K. Just a thought.
Wow! Talk about aggressive pricing and a nice feature set. Now you have me curious. I wasn't aware of these preamps. Thanks.
it's Schiit or nothing. I'm on work disability and live like a hermit, and I listen to music about 12 hours each and every day. I'm pleased with my system, but I have an eye on the Yggdrasil just to see if it'll make a significant improvement in my system. The new preamp also has my attention.

I really enjoyed the video. Jeff seems like a great guy with his "quality entry point" challenge.
The notion of a selectable three-in-one "line stage" is very clever.
I like 6SN7 tubes (Cary SLP-05) and I like relay controlled stepped attenuators (Placette passive).
Switching discrete resistors in and out thru the use of relays is how Placette does it in their passive preamps.... same for Wyred4Sound in their STP-SE preamp.
