| Can I use my passive preamp with tube amps? Perhaps he wants his music to sound real, rather than to sound like audio. He did say that he prefers the sound with a passive. Stan's comment is right on the money. The goal used to be called, "straight wire, with gain." | |

| Can I use my passive preamp with tube amps? If you're asking why he'd want to go to tube monoblocks: If you really need an explanation, you wouldn't understand. | |
