Placette gets my vote - in fact, I have the passive with three inputs and two outputs. It sounds invisible to me (if that's not contradictory) and owning it has made music more enjoyable. I also find the remote volume control invaluable. I also got a mono switch which is a great option. The guy who owns Placette is great to work with and very knowledgeable. I trust his company which is one reason I bought his unit.
Which Passive Preamp --Bent Audio or Placette ?
I have been reading alot about passive preamps lately and the advantages and disadvantages of them.
I have read about resistor based volume controls such as the one on the Placette Passive, and transformer based volume controls such as the one on the Bent Audio NOH.
Has anyone owned or compared the Placette Passive Preamp and the Bent Audio NOH Passive preamp head-to-head?
If so, how do they compare sonically, and what are the sonic advantages and disadvantages in comparison to one another?
How does the passive Pass Labs Aleph, and the passive section of the Adcom GFP-750 compare to the Placette and the Bent Audio?
Thanks in advance!
