Anyone tried Passive Pre's with Class D Power amps

Just curious, has anyone tried Passive Preamplifiers with a Class D Poweramplifier?

Thx

The Nuforce didn't take much to drive them. BTW I did introduce a passive into my system (but now with a tubed amp) and it's true what they say...once you go passive it's hard to go back. Transparency and clarity, in short the 'live' experience, is much more. The active pre's I've had couldn't touch this.

Plus you would likely be able to sell for little or no loss if it didn't work out. The beauty of agon...
