amg56, et alI know this situation is extremely frustrating. However, If you've ever been involved in the sale/purchase of a business, you would know it takes time for both parties to go through EVERYTHING (Due Diligence) and both parties are typic... 
How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp?
When I inserted a Hattor XLR passive (sans buffer) between my Oppo 105 and my then EP 100.2SE amps(newest AA amp on its way)  everything improved, especially bassIt could be that my  system  is 100% balanced, Isn't everybody doing that by now?

I have owned Jef Roland kit and he is a great designer, but does anybody really think he is smarter than all the other designers moding NCore/Hype, etc?

I started with the 300 just for my pre and Oppo 105. It blew away my PS Audio Premier Power Plant. I then upgraded to the 1200 and uggedd 4 amps + pre and Oppo, ut that was a touch too much,  so I got the 1800 and lived happily ever after

ozzy To add to Lak's comments. We beta testers went through a lot testing Deep Core versions 1-2. The first one I had caught fire, the 2nd one blew SR Blue fuses etc, and I know droleg's damaged his other equipment. I know we can never get full... 
Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age?
Thanks George. While the combo sounds vg, there is something eating at me. Not sure whether it's the amps or the speakers. I own EP  KCIIs, but bought a pair  of demo EP 3.0s Alas, there have been weird issues involved in them being delivered. I h...

this wonderful pre was just listed. I had one over a decade ago. Fully balanced with phono, but old school- no remotehttps://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9100g-klyne-audio-arts-7lx-3-5-solid-state 
Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age?
Thanks, I wasn't asking for myself as my Hattor Passive Pre is quite magical with my class D amps. But being such a clear window I think it exposed that my speakers or amps (or both) are not up to it. My EP KC IIs sound fantastic until pushed in m...
