FS: Gungnir Multibit A1 and Freya+ with NOS RCA/Tung Sol tubes

Can't believe I am selling this, as this combo is some TOTL/endgame stuff, but I have been blown away by the Naim synergy with my speakers and don't think I can go back. This combo was more holographic, organic, and meatier sounding than the Naim...but there is just something about the Naim Nova that is clicking for me, so this stack must go to balance out the budget. Moving next week, so would rather sell than have more boxes to move. Looking to only sell to friends/contributors for now.

First up is a Gungnir Multibit A1 with Gen 5 USB installed. This was opened up to confirm it is a true A1, and the Gen 5 USB was recently purchased directly from Schiit ($100 addition). $875 shipped for Friends/Contributors




Next up is a Freya+ that I recently acquired. Stock JJ tubes have low hours. Also comes with one pair of NOS Tung Sol and one pair of NOS RCA Clear Top 6SN7s. I found I get occasional little tube noises with all sets of tubes, I bet a quick cleaning of the terminals would solve it. All stuff that goes away with warm-up. $825 shipped for Friends/Contributors




If you want to buy the combo/stack, will knock a bit of cash off (even though I don't save anything on shipping) and do $1600 shipped for Friends/Contributors.

 

I am going to keep this for now! Still really impressed by the Naim Nova, but I am thinking it is maybe just a bit too fatiguing/distracting for daily office use. Going to hold onto this combo, I think I am just too much of a tube/wet/holographic sound guy. May still explore a stack of some vintage Naim separates at some point.
