What active preamp...


...has almost all advantages of passive + the gain advantages of active and high input sencitivity?
What will be the price of this preamp?

For the sake of the stage I placed the equipment stand away from speakers. Only amps are standing next to my speakers. They're connected with 5m MIT 2i interconnects.

Now I'm forced to use an active pre-amplification but I miss passive drive that has no coloration and brightness.
My budget is sligtly over $1500

There is at least one active preamp available which actually runs in passive mode up to unity gain, then switches in the active section above that point on the volume control. I don't rerember the name(s) but I read about it here somewhere. I suggest you try searching the archives or use the search engine for "passive".
good point about the T2's: should upgrade to a better cable anyway (T4 if not the 350, if you want to stick with MIT) as that T2 is a compromise at this application level
