Your thoughts on a Django Passive Preamp.



I'm thinking of getting a Django but cannot find any upto date posts about it do we have any owners?

I'm going to replace my BAT VK5i with it. I have 3 sources

1) Mitchell Gyro SE turntable through an EAR 834P then to the BAT using 1.5 mtr Cardas Neutral Reference.

2) Harman Kardon Citation 23 Tuner with 1/2 mtr Cardas Neutral Reference.

3) Sony SCD 777es 1 mtr Cardas Neutral Reference.

From the Preamp I have 2.5 mtr Cardas Neutral Reference to a pair VTL 450 Sig's and then via 2 mtr Cardas Neutral Reference speaker cables to a new pair of Magnepan 1.7's (I hope).

Is this a good or a foolish move. At 72 there are great chunks of the Audio Spectrum I nolonger hear so I'm hoping these changes will expand the sound stage and enhance the bits I can hear. Also I'm curious as to what I've been missing.

Any and all comments will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Alan.

Hello Herb,

It seems to make sense to remove the preamp and just have a volume control and a selector switch between your source and your amp. Then I read other peoples post saying they don't like the sound without their pre, so I,m conflicted.

I don't want to pay an arm and a leg and find out I don't like it. Then again I could get one of the less expensive ones.

I want 3 xlr inputs even if they are not truly balanced. I want to use the interconnects I'm using now.

If these are my only problems then life is good.

Cheers,
Alan.
