2/2
I’ve been a Freya + owner since 2020 or so (stimulus money when to Schiit and Magnepan).

Freya+ has a neutral voice, inaudible noise, and a subtly different sound in solid state mode (gain 1) and tube mode (gain 4). I can’t really describe what I’m hearing as color and articulation are pretty constant with 6SN7 fitted. Basically, the sense of the space is different with the valve amp feeling a bit more open and roomy.

Schiit Audio has updated its Freya flagship preamp to Freya 2. This update is all new with the following significant changes

Forkbeard remote control
Low and high gain modes
Hollow state and solid state preamps
Switching matrix allows individual selection of gain stage and buffer stage giving 4 modes.
Runs happily without valves fitted
Valves off when stage is not selected for use.
Same gains (0 db and 6 db) available in all 4 lineups.

How could I say no to this precious!
#garrard - model SP 25 MK III

Yes please! 😁
They sound fantastic!
I wouldn't swap it for a #technics or #pioneer.

Oh, while I'm at it, does anyone outside Finnish speakers know anything about Kaiku headphones?
Know of any measurements of them?

EDIT: nevermind, they're bluetooth and on-ear, so not for my needs. Also found some measurements from kuulokenurkka.com

#hifiaudio #hifi #headphones

Onko kellään kokemuksia Kaiku-kuulokkeista?
Entä onko tiedossa mittauksia, lähinnä kiinnostaa kuinka lähelle Harman-käyrää nämä on säädetty, kun itse pidän aikalailla neutraalista äänestä.

EDIT: Unohtakaa koko juttu, nää on bluetööttiä ja korvan päälle asettuvat, eli ei yhtään sitä mitä etsin. Ja jotain mittauksia löysin kuulokenurkka.com sivuilta.

Was macht man mit zwei völlig ruinierten, aber an sich sehr guten #RFT B 120 mit spröder und abgeblätterter Dekorfolie, teilweise fehlenden Umleimern und ohnehin falscher Markenangabe (Westexport-Audio-Quipment AD 120)? Die Boxen habe ich komplett abgeschliffen und ihnen mit Klarlack eine leichte Klavierlackoptik gegeben.
Die Beschreibung habe ich unter https://rk7.de/boxen.html > strg + f > B 120 ergänzt. 😀

So my hi-fi #headphones broke the other day and now I'm forced to listen to music via cheapo earbuds. The horror! The horror! 😳 🤮

Hurry up, eBay, and send me my repair kit. I don't know how much longer I can hang on 😩

Oxymore- the latest Jean Michel Jarre’ album may not be everyone’s favorite, but the binaural version, while listening on decent, closed-back headphones, is an absolute “eargasm”.
The best description of the sound is that it’s like being in an acoustically unreal space with each instrument floating around you.
I think it’s one of the best albums to test your audio system.

The rumored new HiFI plan from Spotify, which is reportedly code-named "Supremium", will offer subscribers a much better audio experience when streaming music, among other features. #Spotify #HIFIAudio https://www.neowin.net/news/spotify-is-rumored-to-launch-its-more-expensive-hifi-audio-streaming-plan-later-this-year/

Weekend is just around the corner, so it’s time to wind down, uncork a wine and listen to some #music. For me, it will be the latest addition to my CD collection: #RobbieWilliams “Swing When You’re Winning” album. Whatever can be said about Robbie Williams music, I think this album is a must have for every fan of #FrankSinatra and #GreatAmericanSongbook. The only thing I can’t understand is that long silence on track 15, but it always can be skipped.

I always preferred albums over compilations, but when I spotted this double LP today, I couldn’t help it and had to take it home with me. “Bowie Legacy” 180g Double LP “Audiophile Edition”. Maybe one day I will get another copy with prints included, but until then, I’m going to play it often and loud.
