Interesting to read Mechans suggestion. I'm using a Schiit Freya (can be operated in pure passive, JFET buffered or 6SN7 tube mode) with a Taranis Class D. Have also used it with the Cyber 800SE mono blocks that Mechans mentioned. With either amp, I'm greatly enjoying this pre-amp's JFET buffered mode, though the sound in pure-passive runs a close second.
What amp do you use with your passive pre?
I decided to get a LDR Passive Pre. No, not Tortuga. This one is from a super nice guy name Chris in New Zealand. I currently have a Class D amp (one of those better boards). Although I like it, I always miss the Class A/tube sound. So, looking for amp that is minimum 50wpc. I currently have 91db speakers but will change them soon to Harbeth (most likely).
Long story short; what amp are you using with your passive pre?
