A novel passive preamp design


Is anyone interested to hear about a passive preamp based on XLR plugs and jacks? It has big pros and big cons, but in some systems, used in certain ways, it might be a winner. I won't take up Forum space by giving details here, but email me if you'd like to hear more.

One is already in production from Audio Synthesis, a British high-end company. I'm using one right now in tamdem with a heavily modified EAR 834P to play vinyl. The product is called Pro-Passion. It has one balanced input and one balanced output; simplicity in the extreme! Let me just tell you that once you've had a taste of what a passive preamp can do - when properly used within its limited parameters - you will shun and despise all active linestages!
Yes please post anyways- I'm a strong believer in active only under any situation but when I hear someone state such a good comment with open minded pro's and con's etc.- it's got to be a good discussion especially for those who believe in passive.
I'd be interested. Don't be afraid to post. This forum is for learning and discovery, right?
