Over the years I've had 1k passives all the way to 22k passives and many in between and while passives do many things well once you switch back to an active pre it all comes together. You should give a passive a try but in the end you will find a well made active will give you the most satisfaction, I know I did.
Passive Preamp Recommendations?
I'm looking for a passive preamp to experiment with.
I currently have a McIntosh C2200 which I love but heard a Placette passive at RMAF a few years ago paired with a
Mc 252 power amp which I have and the sound was mesmerizing.
I'd like something used but used Placettes are hard to find.
I'm considering a local design - Fletcher-Harris Dimuendo -for $600. which is reasonable but would like suggestions on other possibilities.
