Passive Pre Recommendations

I have a Wright Sound WLA12A LS, the Wright Sound WPP 200 phono with their MC step up. Present cartridge is Shelter 901, This all goes into Morrow 300B amps that have a sensitivity of.25 V driving a BLH 98db eff speaker by KCS

I looking for I think a passive pre or one with lower gain than the WLA12A which has either 20db or 12db gain. With it on the 12db setting I can hardly go past 9:00 on volume control. I also have FI 2A3 monos that are.5 V which I can go to 10:30 on volume before it is two loud.

Any suggestions on a passive or other that would work. How about the Marchand?

Not sure how it would work in your situation, but the Placette passive is an outstanding product in my experience. I've used the RVC with several systems and it has been a consistently outstanding performer. I understand with passive pres that matching the mating components is critical. Check with Guy at Placette to see if he thinks it might work for you. You might also check with George Wright to see if he can modify your pre to pad down the output further.
