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

Thank you scruffy_



Thanks for further describing what you hear in the Freya. You commented earlier that you were hearing a clicking sound when you adjust the Volume. I believe those are relays that switch discrete resistors in/out of the attenuation path. Some high-end preamps do that including some respected passive units like the Placette Passive. The clicking sound is normal.

When you do get your RCA 6SN7GTB's, the right side tubes on the Freya provide voltage gain so those -should- have more noticeable impact on the preamp's tonal qualities vs the right side. Please keep us posted on what you hear! Thanks.

From the Freya Owner's Manual:
"If you're curious, the right tubes are for the differential voltage gain stage. The left tubes are for the cathode follower output stage. All tubes are of the same type on Freya."
