The pictures seem to have vanished so here goes again.

For sale is my Schiit Freya Plus (current new price is £1100), which has had the V-Cap ODAM upgrade, these caps cost £350+

Price £800 + postage (UK Mainland only)

It is in perfect cosmetic condition and works as it should.
The Cap upgrade improves transparency and gives a smoother top end.
Original remote control is included and all the original packaging is present and will be used for postage.
As well as the cap upgrade, it has additional air vents added to top and bottom, plus taller feet fitted to allow better air circulation.
These mods reduce the top case temperature by approx. 10deg C and prolongs the life of the Caps and Transformers.
A set of four socket savers are included in the sale.
It comes with standard JJ's in the buffer stage and NOS Sylvania 6SN7 GTB Chrome top, in the gain section.
Blue film has been stuck over the LED's on the PCB, so the LED's now look pale Blue. (easily removed if you prefer White).

For those that haven't worked it out, its a Pre Amp and as the pictures show, it has Balanced and SE inputs/outputs.
It has three modes, Tube, with +12dB gain, JFET Buffer 0dB gain and Passive modes. I easily prefer the Tube mode.
It received very positive reviews, from the likes of Stereophile.
