What is a non-active pre-amp stage?? Are their advantages to this design??


I am considering an  Conrad Johnson CA-150 integrated amp which offers a "non active pre-amp stage"

Need and explanation of this design.  What are its pros and cons??  Does it provide better sound quality or performance, than an "active pre-amp stage" ?

Any comments about the C.J, CA-150 integrated amp sound quality??


Thank you,

S.J.

To Steve, Thank you for the information.  Let me clarify. Will design affect volume of other components like a CD player or a turntable??  


The CA-150 has a remote (?) and so can I adjust the volume of all line level inputs with the remote from my chair??
