This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio!

Just check the measurements of that Schitt. Schitty.

Funny, as that goes for any tube, unless some idiot has put a schiit load of feedback around it to make it look like solid state, then it would sound like schiit.

Although the tube sockets are pcb mounted, they’re very solid. I couldn’t detect any board deflection when installing the tubes.

Yeah just watch that centre plastic pin on the supplied tubes.

Here is a place you guys have over there for good sounding new tubes, better than the Chinese supplied ones.

Watch out pushing in and pulling out the tubes supplied with the Freya, they are fine sounding but cheap as the plastic centre locator pin has a habit of snapping off, so don't wiggle "too much" as your pulling them out.

Love Schiit products, because they don’t con you with expensive "glitzy chassis" that cost up to 80% of the manufacturing costs of the whole product, and which doesn’t do anything for the sound.
The higher percentage of Shiit manufacturing is in the actual circuitry, which is what makes the sound, and that’s what counts, doesn’t even matter if it was mounted on a breadboard.
.
Usually owners of these "glitzy" products put them up on pedestals in between their speaker so they can stare at them from the listening seat, little do they know this placing of the equipment effects imaging and depth perception.

Schiit products look boring, best, put them to the side and have nothing in between your speakers which is far better for stereo imaging and depth, and enjoy your music more.
