Consider a used Spectral DMC 12 or DMC 20, if it can be had that cheaply. I've seen used 12's for around $1500 before, used 20's for somewhat more. I compared these to my purest sound systems passive control unit, and they were more revealing, not as bright, and incredibly 3 dimensional. They're also beautiful pieces of industrial design. The 20 was smoother than the 12, but they were both big steps up from the passive control.
What active preamp...
...has almost all advantages of passive + the gain advantages of active and high input sencitivity?
What will be the price of this preamp?
For the sake of the stage I placed the equipment stand away from speakers. Only amps are standing next to my speakers. They're connected with 5m MIT 2i interconnects.
Now I'm forced to use an active pre-amplification but I miss passive drive that has no coloration and brightness.
My budget is sligtly over $1500
