Passive Preamps

I agree with Phaelon.Passives are a little to cool and the lack bloom of higher end actives

I think the only thing Clio09 and I can agree on is that we disagree.As Tvad stated there are no right or wrongs here.
It doesn't matter what has been written or whom uses what.
What matters is what one hears and I find actives to be more to my liking.Much more.
And yes I have a tubed preamp which is warming,and shortly will be filling my room playing a LP from JJ Johnson and Stan Getz.Happy listening to ALL
