Recommendations on a passive preamp


I'm currently considering:

Creek OBH-22
CIA VPC-2
FT Audio LW1S2

I only need 3 inputs, but 2 outputs are important as I bi-amp my Innersound ISIS with Sonic Frontiers Power 2 and an ADCOM GFA 5800

Without doubt, forget the others there is only one passive!

The music first Magnetic passive pre. I have owned this baby for 2 years and it still amazes me. Every up grade I make is in the correct direction from now on.

It slaughters all competitors for many reasons; firstly it is built by Stevens & billington and uses transformers. Do not bother with resistive passives as these types are of no use except to show us the way to true purity of sound.
The music first is not only RCA but is balanced and this is where passives take on a new meaning. If your power amps are not balanced then buy it as it will operate in RCA but when you get a balanced power amp you will not believe the silence!
The silence and power! You will not doubt this passive! You may doubt the rest of your HiFi but not this baby.
Unreserved recommendation.
