In Reply to: no preamp at all. posted by zman on February 16, 2007 at 17:47:12:
the short story is that I became The Accidental Passive-ist a couple of years ago. What began as a $20 experiment for the office system ended up replacing my ARC preamp (at least for CD duty - which is 80% of my listening). At least I get fantastic tube life on the pre since I don't use it that much.I get wonderful results with a CDP using stepped attenuators driving the VTL amps. Also with a tube output DAC (with built in analog gain controls) driving the Threshold.
