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

Re: No.

I believe an active can do two things a passive can’t. My understanding is

1. An active and buffered-passive preamps with input/output buffering circuits can create a more immediate, livelier, robust presentation by lowering the output impedance and providing a constant output impedance for the power amp to work against.
· Have you tried using a buffer with a passive or a buffered-passive?

2. Active tube stages can create a sense of body, life and realism that I’ve yet to hear replicated in a solid (active or passive) design.
· Have you experimented with a tube source + passive vs a solid source + active tube stage?

Believe what your ears say - not hearsay.
