Passive Pre's--Placette RVC or Luminous Axiom

Other then the 128 stepped remote control unit which the Placette has,what are the major differences between these two units?Does anyone have any experience with them?I really don't need the remote and the difference in price is quite alot.I was wondering what the sonic differences are between the two?I was also looking into the EVS nude attenuators but was curious about anybodys thoughts concerning the Placette RVC and the Luminous Axiom.Thanks

As a user of the EVS Ultimate Attenuators (the name says it all) I can predict you won't be disappointed. Just be sure to talk with the designer, that will make sure the item constructed for you is suitable, just as The smokester explained.

I am talking about apples vs. apples here. If he has already determined that a passive device will work in his system, then a TVC will best a resistor based passive. My amp has 37db of voltage gain and a 100K ohm input impedance. My phono preamp has 65 db of gain and my cart. has an output of 0.3 mV. So yes, my system is optimized for a passive. You are correct, the final result is dependant on all these paramaters. I was assuming the poster had addressed all this already.
