Picked up a Freya N on close out yesterday. Hoping to get it delivered this week. I have two National Matsushita PC88/7DJ8 tubes and wondering if I can try rolling them on the right or left side? Anyone have experience with rolling 7DJ8 tubes in the Freya N. From what I could find, the heater ma is 300. Together with the stock tube, it would get me below 2.4 max and closer to 1.8 I believe.

Well, I've been spending a lot of time with the Freya+.

The Freya+ is my first tubed audio device ever! I've never owned tubed audio equipment of any type until now. I tell you what... I'm really enjoying the heck out it! I'm floored by the sound generated by the Freya+

I have the Freya+ going into KRK Rokit 5 G4 power monitors on my at home work desktop.

Simply outstanding!

I was so impressed with the Freya+, I impulsed on Jotunheim 2. It arrived today!

Now I can't fit both on my desk side by side. There's simply not enough desk area. I could stack them, but need a stand just large enough to hold the Freya on top. While sliding the Jotunheim underneath.

I'd make my own stand if nothing's readily available but I'd rather buy one though at this moment.

Are there ready made stands for the Freya+ out there somewhere?

I use this Allsop Monitor Stand

I have a Freya + on top & Bifrost 2 below.

Thanks! Monitor stands!

I ended up getting this.

The width is just about perfect for the Freya+, and the shelf depth is 2.5" deeper than the Freya chassis.

The Jotunheim will slip right underneath!

I have tried rolling in NOS 6CG7, and with adapters: 12AU7, 12AT7/CV455, and 5670.

Any tips on where to find an adapter so I can try out some 12at7 & 12au7s in the follower stage?

Those exact tubes are my present favorite for the right side. The gain side.

Tubemonger's Pulse tubes store might be your friend:

Yep, those are the ones I got for using 12AU7/12AT7 tubes. As for the 5670 adapter, I got them from Tubedepot. Not as high quality though. There might be some nicer ones somewhere else.

Thanks guys. Ended up ordering some adapters from china off ebay last night, with matching socket savers for the gain tubes. Got some sylvania & ge matched pair 12at7s on the way to try as followers!

In the meantime I'm liking this combo of lisst for gain and stock tubes for follower!

I wish they made LISST for the Freya Noval!

Same. I have 4 of them but they weren't quite up to snuff in the follower stage. I would hope the situation is better with the octal lissts in the freya +. If they made new noval lissts with their newer preamp/headamps in mind maybe it would work better.

Thanks! Will try them out on the gain side.

Need a gain side tube recommendation:
My new Freya + came along with matched 6SN7's.
I thoroughly enjoy listening with these tubes.

I'd like to compare the 6SN7 tubes against another set of tubes.
Tubes that provide a stark contrast to the 6SN7 but still enjoyable.
Something I can hear a clear difference.

Can you please provide tube recommendations.

I'm new to this tube listening and rolling thing.
I've never bought tubes before. Please recommend your favorite tube vendor.
I wouldn't even know a legit shop to go to for tubes.

Thanks!

Note:
I'm totally enjoying my music on another level. I have to keep my spending under control. I'm find that hard to do. Schitt!

I'm a big fan of the sylvania 6sn7gta tubes. At least a few years ago, they were a great bang for the buck, though I haven't looked lately. Just a really sweet sounding tube with good bass. They have a black base and a chrome top, with a stop sign pattern on top. I forget the years I had but I want to say maybe from the 50s or 60s?
