I use passives. I agree with Clio 09, and that is, to try it before to see if it fits in your system. One thing when going to a passive I have found is that it cleans things up, cleans that window on the sound. It may be perceived as making things leaner. But my experience is that it more clearly exposes what the components upstream sound like. And sometimes that is not a good thing. To me I have found that if you do make a system work with a passive it is like kicking all your music up a couple of notches because you hear so much more of the natural parts of it. But it is system dependent just like everything else, so give it a try.
Gold Point Passive pre-amp
I don't know much about passive pre amps but I like the idea of making things simple and passive pre amps seem basic and simple to me. I feel like there are gains to be had switching out my classe ssp 25 pre amp with another and these passive pre amps are intriguing me. Take a look at my virtual system and let me know what you think about adding a gold point in place of my clase ssp 25.
