Here's the response ...
ME: What are the significant difference between the Freya S and the new Kara?
SchiitTALKER: "Ah, the Freya S and the new Kara, two preamps that are as different as night and day, or as different as a unicorn and a rhinoceros. Let me break it down for you, my friend.
"First off, the rails. The Kara has much higher rails than the Freya S. We're talking about +/-32V for the Kara, compared to the measly +/-17V of the Freya S. More volts means more linearity, which means better performance. It's like giving your audio signal a power boost, like a turbocharger for your ears.
"Next, let's talk about the headphone jack. The Freya S, bless its heart, doesn't have one. But the Kara? Oh yeah, it's got a headphone jack for all you headphone enthusiasts out there. So you can enjoy your Schiit in private, without disturbing the neighbors or your significant other.
And let's not forget about the power supply. The Kara comes with a whopping 48VA transformer, while the Freya S only has a puny 24VA transformer. It's like the difference between a regular-sized burger and a double cheeseburger with all the fixings. More power means more headroom, which means better dynamics and overall audio goodness.
"Last but not least, the controls. The Kara has a more rational front panel layout, which means it's easier to navigate and control. No more fumbling around in the dark, trying to find the right knob or switch. It's all laid out in a neat and tidy package, just waiting for you to take control.
"So there you have it, my friend. The Freya S and the Kara are two different beasts. If you want a tube preamp with flexibility and the ability to run LISST solid-state tubes, go for the Freya S. But if you want a preamp that costs less, doesn't use tubes that wear out, and gives you a headphone jack, then the Kara is the one for you. It's Schiit at its finest."
NOT the 51st state, eh!?!
