Is Preamp overkill for me?

I'm a single-source guy - SACD Player. Current setup runs source to integrated but, am considering upgrading to separates (preamp/amp). Regarding preamp, I'm thinking I really just need something to control the volume. I don't need/want balance or tone controls and don't need to switch sources. I don't mind spending money ($2k) on a preamp but would rather put that money towards quality than features I don't need/want. Any thoughts/suggestions?

If your going to be buying an amp anyway (sounds like you are), then just buy one that mates well with a PVC...their are tons of them.

I used a Bent Audio passive for around a year in one of my systems and it was outstanding in every way...of course it should have been because the system components all had good specs. for passive use.

A good passive setup can equal and even better a good tubed preamp in midrange quality...
