Have any of you tried playing with the HITACHI 6SN7GTB Japan?
I assume anything I purchase on ebay is some sort of fraud or scam. I assume all other individuals do likewise, I forget to include warnings for those that need them. Apologies.Thank you. I'd be careful buying from eBay unless established with the seller or can test for confirmation which I recommend always.

I believe Koray has them. I'll retrace my steps as I stumbled upon them.My favorite Tube. PM me if you have a source/stash
Outside of Schiit's own amps like Vidar what would be a good stereo amp to pair with the Freya+? Also is it worth it over the smaller Saga+?
Depends more than anything on with which set of speakers you're pairing the amp.
Well my speakers are the Monitor Audio Silver 100. I'm looking to get a Marantz PM8005 amp.
You wouldn't be pairing an integrated amp with a Freya or Saga. If you'll be using a preamp, you have plenty of choices in power amps with those speakers, but frankly either a Vidar or Aegir should work fine. The former if you'll be driving them loud, the latter if you want more musicality and finesse.
The Aegir is only 20 watts into 8 Ohms. Seems pretty low. My room is a 12 x 13 feet bedroom that I'm using as my "man cave".
Those Monitors run lower than 8 Ohms, so you'll be getting more like 30-40 watts from the Aegir. And they have decent sensitivity. I think on YouTube someone did a review of the Aegir with your speakers, but I don't recall the details. You might want to pose the Aegir-Monitor pairing question in the main Schiit forum rather than here; many more eyes will see it, and there may be someone there who has actually run that combo.
Okay. The reason I'm looking at the Marantz PM8005 is cause it has a headphone jack. I'm trying to have one setup for both headphones and speakers.
Koray did have but he's currently out of stock.My favorite Tube. PM me if you have a source/stash
