I recommend you try it...might be just the thing. If the sound should still strike you as a little lean at some point, you could always investigate the possibility of reducing the length of the IC's (between the Goldpoint and the amp inputs) to absolutely as short as possible (to as little as 3" or so, if possible). This will give you all the sonic advantages of passive pre's with none of the sonic drawbacks (lack of lower mid warmth and/or loss of dynamics). I use Goldpoint SMD attenuators installed physically inside the rear of my monoblocks (almost zero distance from the amp inputs) and I love them, they have been a real revelation with no downside whatsoever...well, no remote control the way I did it, but terrific sound.
Gold Point Passive pre-amp
I don't know much about passive pre amps but I like the idea of making things simple and passive pre amps seem basic and simple to me. I feel like there are gains to be had switching out my classe ssp 25 pre amp with another and these passive pre amps are intriguing me. Take a look at my virtual system and let me know what you think about adding a gold point in place of my clase ssp 25.
As always, thanks for your help!
