I have a nearly-new Schiit Freya+ preamp that I picked up as B-stock at a slight discount a week ago. This is the newer model with 4 6SN7 tubes. I only used it for the purposes of testing another piece of gear and am now moving it along. Works great, sounds great.
This is the only one I've seen so I'm not sure if this is a defect or not, but there looks like what may be an unintentional marking that would have occurred as part of the brushed-look texturing process. It looks like a dashed line of slightly deeper "brush marks" than the rest. You have to look close to see it, and it's pretty hard to see in a photo, but I tried nonetheless. (this would probably explain b-stock status unless it was a customer return) In any case, take a look at the photos. Regular a-stock retail is $899 plus tax and shipping from Schiit. Asking $825 shipped (CONUS)
Note: I've been lurking and not posting so I don't have a post history here, but I'm on some other audio forums as well as Ebay under the same username with feedback, heatware under the name tevans, and iTrader feedback on myg37 forums as well if you want to look me up.
