I do believe you are correct about the Freya +, I have designed my own OTL amp so that I can get the tube sound I want, and may have to consider doing my own pre-amp one day. Nothing against the Freya of course. My only problem is everyone who has heard my amp wanted one and I am trying to wind down the build process lol.
And no, I have never been coached lol, it could help huh?
