clio09, I never thought of putting the passive after the active preamp and then turning the volume wide open on the active preamp. I want to know if this could cause damage to any of the components involved.  Also, in this scenario what preamp do ...

Ozzy62, I want to look into that one as well. pennfootball71 if you want to make some extra cash, you could hold the knob and I'll turn the preamp. Or just get a remote and be done.

dancub, luminous Audio axiom has circuitry for remote control operation, correct? Also don't they require to know what the input impedance is for your power amp so they can configure the axiom properly to match and drive it successfully?

jji666, the preamp is one of the most important pieces in the audio chain as you would agree. I really like the combination of my CJ preamp to my CJ amp, a lot of synergy Plus I'm not going to spend a great deal of money to get another CJ preamp w...

The points above are well taken to get a better passive but I wanted to try this route to make sure this will basically work for me and with the excellent recommendations above I'm going to look into a better passive. But I will need at least thre... 
It’s true what they say/and a question
Grisleybutter, humanity is not screwed yet. The good guys are winning and in time you'll see this is true. I'll say no more than that.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever. More audiophiles need to attend live concerts, it will give you a sense as to where you need to be with your system.

ozzy62, I had a passing thought of hooking up the passive preamp directly to my amp and see what happens. I'm going ahead and do that and I will report back on the results. Hopefully there will be enough gain to satisfy me. I have some doubts thou...

Mashiff, I think you are on track. I will eventually try the resister ladder volume control. Who knows I might be pleasantly surprised!

elliottbnewcombjr, I wish it was that simple, no tape loop or processor loop. Bare bones CJ ss preamp, I'm lucky it has its own volume control.

ozzy62, you make a good point. however, the parts used including the RCA inputs, the Alps pot, are imported from Japan, at least that's what the manufacturer states. But I'm listening very carefully to the results and my initial impressions are po... 
Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd.
stevencason, where do you find these low capacitance cables? Are they usually associated with more expensive designs?  
Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail!
Krell fits the bill, a good recommendation! Don't forget about the Marsh amplifiers, definitely known for their high resolution without brightness. No wonder you don't see them for sale anymore.  
You're not a true audiophile unless...
I'll take my music anyway I can get it. But honestly, I will still prefer to hear it through a good sounding system. Just don't call me an audiofool, I much prefer audiophile.
