anybody know a true dual mono passive preamp?

I'm looking for a good value true dual mono design passive preamp. I'm using a very cheap Channel Island passive preamp connected to an expenssive Gamut D-200 amplifier and I'm very satisfied with the sound. I compared the Channel Island to McCormack TLC-1 and I prefer the CI. I don't believe on overprice product specialy for a passive preamp.
I know there are very good value passive preamp out there like the Channel Island and the FT Audio LW1. pls. share your experience with us. Thanks to everybody.

First Sound started by building passive preamps which are amazing even though his active preamps are even better. He will build them on custom orders.

EVS Ultimate Attenuators? Only available used as they are no longer in production. Stepped resistors instead of pots.

I have been using Audio Synthesis Passion for a while with my CARY V12. I am very pleased with the sound. It is ultra transparent and very revealing of associated components preceeding it in the chain. It uses only the finest parts available (Vishay resistors and silver wiring) and the built quality is exceptional. Separate volume controls for left and right channels. For the money, it's untouchable. Look for a used one for about $500-$700. Good luck!
