I am pretty amazed at the sound quality I am hearing. Very clear with no bass bloat at all, very tight as the musicians say. Very much detail, nice presence.
Put on some well recorded hip hop from the early 90s Columbia records, Cypress Hill III, Temples of Boom which is an outstanding record. This album was recorded during the bands psychedelic mushroom and acid experimentation phase and tends to shy away from the normal pro weed rants and goes against the grain with tracks of insanity. It was rated the worst Cypress Hill album by the critics however it is the darkest sounding hip hop album I have in my collection, with songs about losing ones mind to how the music industry is a sham, in Pink Floyd fashion, well recorded early 90s Columbia Records.
Passive pre-amplification I think is all I'll use, as I don't listen so loud where the active stage will kick in.
Very very impressive, especially for under $2k. Which is basically the level I can afford for component investments as I am a working man.

That's good since it is primarily a buffered passive with only 6 db of gain. Since I enjoy vinyl playback, that would be insufficient since my preamp splits the gain duty between the phono and line stages.
And I'll echo the suggestion to get control of your cable morass.
I do not believe in cable elevators and majik enhancements by messing with cable placement, however I have heard tangible results from doing such things, that is an element of esoteric occult ritual that I don't have time to take part in, saying I don't believe in that does not discount the fact that I believe it does work. I also have no WAF so I choose the birds nest for gnomes, fairies and other illuminated creatures to come nest and visit during my listening sessions. However detrimental to the sound that may be from the distraction caused by them.
thanks for your comments,

What does that have to do with any of my comments? Elevators are used for long runs as to speakers.
Your rat's nest can be cured. :)
