Goldpoint Passive Preamps

I'm trying out some passive preamps and was wondering if anyone has tried the Goldpoint products. If so, which model, which attenuator, and which resistor. I'd also like to know what equipment you are using it with.

My equipment:

Transistor Research Labs D-225 solid state amp, 225 watts/per chammel, 67k ohm input impedance, .8V input sensitivity, 30db gain.

Spendor 1/2e speakers, 8 ohms, 88db sensitivity.

TRL Sony DVP-NS900V CDP, 2V output.

TRL Audio Mirror D1 Signature DAC, 1.5 output

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm currently demoing a Sonic Euphoria PLC passive and it's really, really nice. I was worried about the "lack of sound" I'd get from all the knocks against passives on the forum.

The Sonic Euphoria has great dynamics and all the bass one needs. I've demoed a few preamps the last couple months to move off of using an interim NAD receiver. Nothing has made me want to depart with my money before the Sonic Euphoria. This may very well be the ticket.

The receiver is like watching the Superbowl on a 27" TV. The other preamps I've demoed were like moving to a 32" TV. The Sonic Euphoria is like a 50" HDTV.

My system is Arcam CD-33 source, Pass Labs Aleph3 amp and Onix Ref 2 speakers.
