new experience with my passive preamp


Promised to relay my recent acquisition experience of the passive
pre-amp as opposed to my active beaut.
Well, after four or five hours of listening, the benefits
of the Placette remote volume control is clearly audible.
My system: Lamm amps, Avantegarde Duo speakers, Mark
Levinson 390S processor. Replaced the Lamm DL11, deluxe.
Note well: the AV Duos are very sensitive and the bottom
end may still be too loud unless a mod is added to lower
the volume.

With an output impedance of 10 ohms and max output of 2.225 volts, the Levinson 390S looks like a perfect source for a passive preamp. What ICs are you using?

Some owners say the Placette is soft in the low end. What's your experience?

How are the dynamics?
