I have not tried any of the passives you mention, but I have used fixed attenuators with a high gain pre-amp (ARC) and noted no significant deterioration. The one passive I did try was additive to the high end, not a good thing with the Baron.The benefit to be had by the flexibility a tube pre-amp offers, to me, greatly exceeds the limitations imposed by a passive. FWIW, I was about to connect a low gain pre-amp (12db) and in changing an input tube on the Baron I broke a solder joint and now I have to truck it to Petaluma! I had great expectations though. :-(
