Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

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

Plug 'em in and listen... Not rocket science !

Various passive attenuators can sound quite different and the same goes for active preamps. You have to try them and listen then choose one that suits your needs.

I've had bad passive attenuators and one that was outstanding. Similarly for active linestages, I've had several that were veiled, warm, rolled off, bright, dull, sterile, etc. And a couple that I like very much.

My setup has become more complex over the years with more sources so I gave up the passive linestage for an active solid-state preamp. My system still sounds very good.

Good luck.
