Passive preamps - differences between technologies

Preamp Suggestions

@j_andrews I say the same thing to anybody who will listen, get one of Dave Slagle’s autoformers with a balance control and be done with typical resistor type volume control. If it has a sound - sign me up. I love it!

Need preamp recommendations for a Dynakit ST-35.

I have the 3xrs HO and love them! If that amp has plenty of gain I would go with an autoformer passive pre.
