    Schiit Freya Impressions and Tube Rolling Thread

    People seem to really like the red base, but too rich for my blood.  I had terrible luck with the new Tung sols when I bought them from a certain online vendor- even after paying for low noise, balanced triodes, and matching.  I ordered 9 matched tubes (two orders) and sent 5 of them back due to...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    So, I was planning on getting a Freya for Genelec 8040B's.  Is this a waste of cash since the Genelecs are powered by class D?  Can I stop refreshing the schiit site and just enjoy what I have?
