Passive intergrated Amps

Sorry if this has been discussed before...

A lot of my friends here in London have a simple 2ch, which they use for CD replay only. We tend to spend about £1000 to 2000 on the entire system (Arcam/Creek/Linn etc) I was wondering if anyone made a 'passive integrated' (i.e. no pre amp gain, etc, just an attenuator) obviously accepting only line level inputs (most of us hook up only a CD anyway)

Not having a needless headphone circuit would be a plus too.

Anyone heard of such an animal?

cheers,
RR

Densen B-100 I think fits your description. In any case it's a nice sounding amp.
Why worry whether the integrated is passive or not ? Just buy the one that sounds the best.

Gunbei, I own the densen, and it sounds really great to me (good mix of musicality with transparency) but I can't compare since I rarely listen to other amps (can't stand shopping). I don't like the looks personally ... too showy. The knobs on the front should be smaller and either silver or black.
