And yet you use and active preamp?? I have tried many "passive" preamps, even digital attenuation from the source, and NONE sound anywhere close to as dynamic and right as a good preamp. Even a not so good preamp has more get up and go.
I had a DAC, Monarchy Audio M22B, that had 6V output levels (or 3V take your pick) specifically for driving passives. Never sounded anywhere close to what it sounded like with an active preamp.
BTW, your system looks like it should be pretty good sounding so don't think I am bashing your system. I am just curious about the fact that you personally use an active preamp when you had the Placette before I assume? Also, a tube amp typically has a high input impedance...perfect for passive...or so we are led to believe.
