Passive preamps - differences between technologies

If a Hint of Richness is on the 'to be experienced' list.

A Cable with D.U.C.C Wire has the capability to produce this Tonality e, as a very subtle influence, the thickening up of the mid's and lower frequencies, is a typical  effect from the Cable, that has been perceived across a few systems I have loaned the Cables with this Wire Type to be used in.

Because the Wires Tonality is perceivable when a Group has been at a Demo' of it in use there has been a mixed response/thoughts disclosed on how it is able to create an impression.     

Get the best ARC preamp you can afford.  The synergy will be fantastic.  

I have the EMIA Remote Autoformer (Sliver). It's incredible in my system.

My Tortuga Audio LDR preamp has never disappointed me.

It has a very clean transparent sound, nice detail, clarity is a strong point. It images very well too.

It has a pitch black back ground too that I attribute to its battery power supply.

Very impressive, especially for the $$ 👍

If you have adequate gain, I say the same thing to anybody who will listen, get one of Dave Slagle’s autoformers and be done with typical resistor type volume control.
