1st sound vs. placette?


I need to purchase a preamp. I currently have atmas-phere m60mk2's feeding audio physic step sle's. I was considering a placette active line stage or a first sound presence line stage-does anyone have experience with both lines-feel free to make suggestions for other models as well. (remote control would be a grand bonus)

thanks,

Fred

I owned both the FS and the Placette Active at the same time for about two years. Finally I sold the Placette, but it could have gone the other way. They are both terrific and I loved them both. Currently, the FS is duking it out with a Klyne. The jury is still out.

My feeling is that Placette is "known" for the active unit. I'm less sure about the passive models. It's the active that has garnered the great reviews, and with good reason.

You can't go wrong either way.
