Need passive aggressive advice

 I never wore baggy jeans but guilty as charged on the white New Balances.
I'm rockin' Jordan B Flys. The kid at Footlocker told me "you can ball and look good at the same". Nuff' said. 
 

Thanks, guys
 Seems like the Placette with its Vishays can still holds its own today.

I leaning towards giving the Tortuga a try
https://www.tortugaaudio.com/product/ldr3-v25-passive-preamp/
Its uses what they call  Light Dependent photoResistors ( LDRs) which seems to seperate it from the others.
It also has 3 inputs and 2 outputs as compared to one of each on my Placette.
$1k with 30 day return policy

So my Tortuga arrived this past Saturday. Hoorah! But it crapped out last night. Boo!
Hey. These things happen and I’m sure Tortuga will make things right.
The Placette sold quickly. So another week or so sans music. Boo!
Sonically between the two, Tortuga had a slight edge and with its ability for impedance matching on the fly made it a clear winner.

I’m thinking of ordering the Schitt Saga as some have mentioned here.
The ability to go passive or active via a 6SN7 seems pretty cool. Nice to have that option. Just cant get my head around the $349 price tag.
Then there’s the Freya if I insist on spending more money. I have on email out to Schitt asking if in passive mode if there is any difference sonicwise.
