Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

RE: "The preamp has tubes amplifying the signal, so it's active"

You're missing the distinction. A preamp with tubes amplifying the signal is an active preamp. A preamp that's just an input selector and pot, or TVC is a passive preamp. These are types of preamps. Phono preamps are inherently active preamps.

Phono preamps can have either passive EQ's or active EQ's, but both will still be active preamps.
