Why an active preamp with Rock-N-Roll ?


In past threads I have read that people have said that an active preamp is better for rock-n-roll.

Why?

Active or passive ain't the issue. It's how well the components match, i.e. synergy.
My cdp direct to ss amp has all the "snap" you'd want: on certain Radiohead cuts, you can reach out and feel the electronic current---pulsating.
But it also has the fluidity, grace, and subtle power to convey every nuance in Callas's highest notes.
