I've had them both. I say go for the real shit - schiit.

The performance of the Kara I have now, which cost something like $700, is shockingly good. It can passive also, or low or high gain.

The sound is so good I have to call it without fault.

Gone are my days of $10K+ tube preamps, that's for sure.

(And, Schiit's other pre, the Freya, is on S-phile's Class A list, alongside $30K monsters. And really the Kara is superior to it, frankly.)

I do dislike one thing about the Kara: No volume display. There is no easy way to track settings, nor make precise movements with the remote.

That's honestly its only fault IMO.

Passives work well sometimes, others not so much - Feanor 04:04:56 04/22/24 (11)
