Two others that you can try the McCormack TLC-1 and the McCormack Micro Line Drive. The TLC offers a passive and a buffered output while the Micro L/D offers a passive and an active output, the active output has an adjustable output of +/-6bd of gain. This will give you the option of deciding weather you like active or passive preamp's. Plus if you so chose you can have it upgraded at SMC Audio. I have a TLC and 2 Micro's one upgraded to Gold and the upgrade was well worth the money. For less than $1K the upgraded Micro gives the TLC a run for its money. I use the TLC because it has more inputs that I need. I'm scheduled to have the TLC upgraded with all the goodies after the new year, if you were curious.
