All source components are not created equal when it comes to their performance thru passive linestage/controllers. I can remember taking a new CDP (Raysonic 128) to two friends' houses to hear in their system. Both are passive controller users.
The Raysonic sounded simply awful in one of them. Better, but not great, in the other. The first time, I thought something had happened to the unit and was immensely pleased when it sounded like it originally did, in my system, via the Aesthetix Calypso.
Then there was the time when another friend suggested that I run a phonostage I was using at the time directly into my monoblock power amps. It had a volume control, so that was at least theoretically feasible. We could hardly believe how bad it sounded "straight" into the amps -- bleached, threadbare, like a different phonostage altogether.
So system synergy plays a big role in all this.
