...which was why.Some years ago when I was using a Rowland Coherance One preamp, Emmanuel Go of First Sound, IIRC, brought by his Reference One Passive for me to review. It sounded great and blew away the Rowland.
That was one of the best preamps during the early 1990s but I'm sure there are many more advanced ones now - 15 years later.
Today, I use a Wadia CD player (with a digital volume control) connected directly to my amplifiers. Many others are using similar set-ups or passive attenuators and no line stage.
I'm wondering if an active preamp has an advantage, theoretically.
