RE: I'm 95% convinced I want to change to a passive preamp. Thoughts?

I had a nice 70w HK integrated for about 8 years before I went to separates. I replaced it with my current Rotel pre and a junk/salvage vintage 60w Marantz pwr amp and that setup absolutely walked all over the HK. Upgraded to the B&K amp a few years later, and bam, great sound.

(btw, that HK integrated is still in service in the basement system)

I understand your point, however. For the same lump sum outlay as my separates one could get a sweet Outlaw integrated that is just as good, if not better, and much more modern.

But for my main system I like the modularity and flexibility of separates.

And it is much more affordable to upgrade/replace piecemeal.
