Active or passive preamp


Hey guys,

I need some advise as to whether I should go active or passive on a preamp. Although I have several digital sources, I'm running all of them through an Emotiva XDA-1. It's nominal voltage output is 1v with a max of 7v. Its output impedance is 1K ohms.

My amp is an Aragon 2004, with an input sensitivity of 150mv for 1 watt. Its input impedance is 22K ohms.

Although I've been doing as much reading up as I can, I'm still not sure that these components will be a good match with a passive preamp.

What do you guys think?

Thanks.

Dave, how many companies make an AVC using your transformers? Is John C still selling commercially available units?
Thanks Dave. I owned the BENT with your AVCs and stupidly sold it. I will take a look at some of the folks you mention. The Experience Music looks interesting with its volume balance function. Thanks.
