RE: Passives

I use a TVC in my system. I did compare a $4K active pre-amp in my system and it did not do anything in my system. But one thing to remember is "matching components", like others have mentioned. You have to be very careful. I would not look at speakers less than 6 Ohm load, at least 87db sensitivity, sources having at least 2V out and a high sensitivity amp (example 1.5V for full power). If I have a source that does anything less than 1.5V, the sound is anemic and lifeless. But with proper matching you will benefit from clean, transparent, honest-to-source sound. People complain about loosing the range at the audio extremes, but I do not experience that in my system. An important part, I understand from various sources, is what the "core" of the TVC is made up of.
