Passive Pre-amp: Improves overall sound quality??


Sam Tellig in Stereophile was all jazzed up about a line of "passive pre-amps" he received for review How does a passive pre-amp work?? Is it powered by wall AC?? What are some of the pros and cons of its operation within an audio system??

Here's my recipe for building a system around a TVC: Start with a source capable of 4V output (XLR) with output impedance below 100 ohms. Amps (Plinius) have 38dB gain in balanced mode. Genesis 350 speakers are anything but shy for bass and slam. Easily capable of concert level SPL's. I have cheap cables.
