ultimate final word 3 on best passive preamp

attenuator volume control top of the line #1 winner incredible fantastic deal of the century world class a. i have started a series here and included all these words to help newbies find this thread, this is so that someone new or not so new can make this the last stop before buying a passive volume control. can those who have experience with this area share with others what passive volume control is their choice and why and also which have been a disappointment thanks these are the ones i found so far i am not endorsing any just listing what is available and by the way some of these are available as kits to be soldered some are assembled, here they are: placette, machand, goldpoint, michael percy, evs ric shultz, transcendent, bent. please don't respond if you have nothing positive to contribute i welcome criticism if it's constructive but to those snobs who can only afford kharmas god bless your little soul and hey let's all agree on something "life like" does not replace the concert hall or the live performance "life like" means similiar and not exactly the same. for those who lack awareness we all know that the speaker will not replace the real thing but we are all here trying to get closer to it.

I owned the Placette Passive Linestage. I enjoyed using it in my system and would still have it but I needed to make a change. Back to the Placette Passive, It sounds wonderful with a good source. If the source is bright, the sound will be bright, if the system is warm, the sound will be warm. I truly feel it is giving the user what the source gives it. This is the best praise I can give the Placette Passive Linestage.

BTW: I still own a Placette. ItÂ’s no longer passive.

Hope this helps
