RE: How can a phono preamp be both passive and active?

If you're talking only about the phono stage in the amp what's being discussed is the RIAA equalization which operates on the low end and the high end. Thus one stage can be done passively(within the phono amplification stage itself) and the other actively(within the feedback loop of the phono stage). Thus the phono stage can be 1/2 active and 1/2 passive.
