Tube vs Solid State Listening Test with the Schiit Freya Preamp

Can you hear a difference? Listen for yourself! Tung-Sol 6SN7 vs JFET mode on a Schiit Audio Freya balanced preamp. See in the comments below for my impression.

Update 11/29/2017: Check out Paul McGowan (head of PS Audio) talking about tube vs solid state front end...great insight!    • Where vacuum tubes work best  

Note: Since the Tube and JFET stages in the Freya have different gain, loudness was matched using Adobe Audition to -24LUFS (loudness units relative to full scale), which is a broadcast standard.
