Help with a Passive Preamp


Looking for a Passive preamp and have narrowed it down to 3 - 4 candidates. The Truth with remote, Tortuga Audio LDR300x.V3 Passive, Luminous 

Axiom II Passive Preamp Walker Mod with Remote or maybe the JOB Pre-2? It will be down stream from a Mytek Brooklyn and a Linn LP-12 with a Ruby 3h with a Sutherland 20/20. Downstream is a Pass Xa-25. The Tortuga has the advantage of being able to ad a gain module if necessary. 

I have heard the Truth in my system and it was very good. Your thoughts?

I have an Axiom II with Walker mods and use it occasionally. 

I like the clear presentation that it makes, which reminds me of how I think Audio Research preamps sound to me.

But after a while I find it a bit fatiguing in my system. I reinsert my CJ 17LS2 to obtain the texture and nuance it provides to my setup.

Thanks for listening,
