I'm with you on that.
I think both active and passive approaches are valid. If a pre/power combo created "artificial" dynamics, then they are just bad components.
Personally, I prefer a tubed active linetage with a solid state amp, and a passive TVC with a tube amp. That is just my preference for the most balanced sound.
CH's post was smart because he hedges his bets, because there is no right answer. IMO there are a few passives that approach his ideal.
And take note, what he says is absolutely true. Budget, or Midpriced preamps are just a waste of money. He says in no uncertain terms a truly grain free preamp will cost you. A cheap pre can absolutely destroy a system's performance.
