I was an idiot!

All three modes do work! The problem was just how I read the instruction without actually trying it out! Re-read my edited opening post where I pointed my error out.

I also think that what I have been calling "brightness" is really midrange glare that is present in poor recordings. The odd thing is that I never heard the glare being so pronounced with my old passive preamp.

I've been sitting here enjoying the tube mode instead of listening to the other two modes on the Freya. I now think the tubes that came with the Freya are doing a better job than what I gave them credit for.

The bottom line is that I'm now able to totally enjoy most of my choral music. The glare on certain CDs needs to be tamed using an equalizer in the midrange to enjoy. I'm now kicking myself for ordering the warm RCA tubes which will probably kill the extended highs and color the midrange.
