Do I go from a Primaluna HP Integrated to Schiit Freya+ and a pair of Aegir Amps?
I am considering going Hybrid with a Schiit "Freya+" tube pre amp and pair of Class A Schiit "Aegir" amps...well as they say, better than Class A!
Anyhow, interested in the dynamics of solid state and the sonics of tubes up front, opinions please...I am thinking that hybrid without Class D amps, and using something more pure might work well........
Thank you boys and girls....

Thanks @eag618 for the update. I bought the Aegir based on reviews, together with Freya + . They sound great. They sound better in almost every aspect compared with PrimaLuna prologue one I have: bass, details, space, air, instruments separation, etc. However, I have quality issue with the Aegir amp that I have to return them. Here's the full story. The Aegir has a 60hz like humming noise from the unit as well as going to the speakers. I tried only connecting the power cord to it (no interconnect, no speaker cables, etc), it still has the humming noise from the unit. Went through psAudio's page for getting rid of humming noise, it does not work for me. https://www.psaudio.com/ps_how/how-to-find-and-fix-hum/ I guess it's due to the quality of the transformer. The sound is not too loud, and might not bother much. But still, I decided to return them. I hope they can provide better quality transformers and add cost to the price. It does not feel right as they say the transformer is made in California, and yet the quality is inferior than transformers made elsewhere. Other observations Update 1: |
