Placette linestage vs. Adcom 750 passive

This garbage and that garbage. (Both have rave reviews I think).

You need good passive preamp? - look transformer based - Promithoud, Bent(?) etc
Good Luck

Hello iSanchez. I misspelled "Promitheus Audio" and you are correct - C-core improves. I had it - its great with Spectron monoblocks because you have enough bass and fantastic 3D sound stage - with other amps its good but its only sub $1k preamp...

Bent is also good but Promithieus finish is unbelivable and I have a weakness for nice looking audio equipment.

Did you ever hear Placette? dry, dry, dry...

Hello iSanchez,

"I really don't know what or why it is, but in my system the Promitheus C-core TVC sounds amazing...."

I think I know why: a) you are not deaf and b) you do not buy "Recommended Component" and c) the monoblocks take care of a few weaknesses of this unit - 1 its flat a bit as all passive units but your monoblock create this "palpability" or "holographic imaging" and 2 Spectron more then enough compensate for weak bass of ALL passive units

So, you have all advantages of this TVC-gorgeous finish - box and none of its disadvantages.

I neaver audition active Placette and thus I can't comment - except I never audition solid state preamp I liked in my life.

All The Best
