RE: I tend to disagree

"'purest passive pre-amp is no pre-amp' - that was my reference (for many years) - no pre-amp!"

Here is where you are misunderstanding. This may not be the "purest" of all because the internal attenuator in your source may not be as good as a quality external passive attenuator / linestage. It is possible to achieve better sonics by bypassing your internal attenuator entirely. The easiest way to do this in most source components is to simply turn it's volume up 100% then use high quality external attenuation.

Do your homework and clean up your variables before jumping to conclusions.
