The 47 Labs Gaincard amp with built-in volume attneuator may fit the bill. Also, If you already own a power amp the Luminous Audio AXIOM passive preamp for $150 is pretty damn good.
Passive intergrated Amps
Sorry if this has been discussed before...
A lot of my friends here in London have a simple 2ch, which they use for CD replay only. We tend to spend about £1000 to 2000 on the entire system (Arcam/Creek/Linn etc) I was wondering if anyone made a 'passive integrated' (i.e. no pre amp gain, etc, just an attenuator) obviously accepting only line level inputs (most of us hook up only a CD anyway)
Not having a needless headphone circuit would be a plus too.
Anyone heard of such an animal?
cheers,
RR
