joessportster Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 it boils down to personal preferance, (what do your ears like), but it can also depend on your gear, in my opinion 1 benefit to passive is that you get to hear your source and amps without any signature sound of a pre-amp however you also get no gain, so your speakers have to be effecient enough for the amp/source to drive them.(or you amp would need to be powerful enough to drive non-effecient speaks) i personally like a good pre-amp as it sets the stage for the whole system but thats my preferance. best thing to do (a i am sure you already know) is try to audition both and decide Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio Flynn Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I have been into tube preamps for 7 or more years now and since I listen to vinyl some months over 80% it makes no sense to have a passive pre and a separate phono preamp, although some people do this. The system match is something I enjoy about an active preamp. Old Scotts, old Ampex, Blueberry, CJ and others give you a little diffferent "color" from each designer and different tubes manufacturer models and years of manufacture.
