Opinions Needed: Active or passive pre


My system consists of Sony sacd777,Bel Canto Dac1, Placette remote volume control, Sim Audio Moon W-3 amp, Magnaplaner 1.6, Rel Strata 2 Sub.I am considering replacing the Placette with a CJ Premiere 14 to get some of that tube midrange magic. Good idea? Bad idea? Any and all opinions would be appreciated.

I would like to try passive preamp, but need the extra output for my subwoofer. I am using a Audible Illusion L1 and Janis sub. My Spica speakers run full range. Any suggestions?
Get a Rel sub, you can run it off the outputs of your amp {it actually sounds better this way} See the Rel web site for more details
The adcom 750 has two sets of outputs. Also has a passthru to run your home theater or tv variable outs into it.
