Placette, VS First Sound VS Audio Synthesis Passio

I'm looking for a very pure & simple passive preamp, 1IP, 1OP. Anyone do an A/B demo on these. I talked to Placette Audio and still don't understand how his unit functions. From researching I gather that an L-Pad design using only Vishey Resistors(inc grnd)is the way to go. There only would be 2 resistors in the signal path at all times no matter where the dial is....no relays..etc in the signal path. I believe Audio Synthisis uses this as well as the original First Sound reference II signature mono unit with vishay R which I never seen.

Will a remote add coloration as well as muting etc.

Drubin,
I understand your dissapointment in a way. BUT Paul W., from what I have heard makes some very, very special amps and pre-amps. Besides, its the quality and workmship along with support and r&d that makes a product worth owning in my opinion. Emmanuel has a serious upgrade path for those that what the max possible from First Sound. Call him and ask about his newest 6 chasis preamp that includes two outboard power supplies. Give yourself time to talk because he can be chatty. :)
