RE: Volume control settings

quote: stehno, "the dynamics were overkill with an active preamp, especially the initial attack of a note."

Yes maybe you are hearing exaggerated "T.I.M." leading edge "transient intermodulation distortion" with the active pre.

A well implemented passive will give just as good if not better "bigger" transients, but in a more "wholesome, richer" way with body, instead of being fired at your ears from the individual speaker drivers like active pre's tend to do.
