another passive to look into is the Placette RVC or Passive Pre (just depends on the number of inputs needed). i switched to one a few months ago and was stunned at how good it sounded compared to the active preamps i've owned - pass labs, counterpoint, aesthetix, etc. remote control and 30 day return policy, not to mention the owner is extremely helpful and will be honest about system matching and his gear.
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!
