Best Passive Pre-amp with remote??

Check out Placette Audio, they make some outstanding units. There is more info on their web page.

...either it has to be motor powered attenuator or it has to be electronic attenuator. Either way it's not going to be "pure passive" preamp...

I 2nd Blackie ... Placette is the one company that has a remote unit that does not inorduce distortion. I have the Placette Active line stage and it is the best preamp I have "not" heard under $10K. --Lorne
