Placette Audio Volume Control

I am using an older model Placette passive with 5 input option. It is very transparent and does not really have a sonic signature. It takes some time to realize how good it really is as it is extremely neutral, very revealing, and somehow sounds more dynamic than traditional passives. I think that it is about as good as you can get if you want passive type. I would love to try the active model but it was more than I wanted to spend.

I'm using the remote volume control between my Theta Gen Va and a Music Reference RM-200. It really doesn't seem to have a sound of it's own I had a CJ Premier 14 for awhile and I liked the sound ( or should I say lack of sound} of the Placette better

I had the Placette in my system for over a year and found it to be everything it claims to be, transparent with no sound signature of it's own. I was so impressed with it that I went to a Placette Linestage. Guy Hammell of Placette is very knowledgeable, easy to work with and he will give you a 30 day audition period with full price upgrade to a linestage. I believe there is a review on it at www.soundstage.com and The Absolute Sound has reviewed both the remote and the linestage in the past. I have used both the remote and linestage with tube and solidstate amplification with similar results. Good luck.
