Get the Placette, you'll be blown away...
Passive preamp for Tube Amp?
Has anyone tried using a passive pre with a tube amplifier? In particular I am interested in a passive like a Placette PVC with a McIntosh MC275. Primary source will be phono via a Rogue Stealth. Speakers are Quad 2805.
I have heard mixed reviews on whether this would result in softened dynamics and bass impact. Many of the published reviews of the Placette are very positive, but I have read some posts by actual users who mentioned the softened dynamics and weak bass.
The Placette comes with a 30 day home trial, but I am just looking for as much information up front as I can get. Thanks for any wisdom here...
