Placette RVC vs. Adcom GFP-750 in passive mode

I haven't done the comparison but read the Placette Web site. I have owned Placette preamps & compared it to the best out there. It is by far one of the biggest bargains in high end audio. Guy is great & builds an amazing product. It is a purist approach which the Adcom isn't. The Placette is 100% transparent. The Adcom is an all together different unit & shouldn't be compared as such. If you want strictly a passive buy the Placette. If not then buy the Placette Active but it will cost.

I own the Placette passive. It bested my First Sound;-- Actually I get more/better bass.(than)-- Anybody know if this Adcom sounds better using passive than active??

George,
IMHO - the passive mode on the Adcom IS better than the active mode. It allows more detail, without coloration, to come through.
Hey....still looking for folks that can COMPARE the two units operating in passive.
Somebody make me a really good deal on one and I'll buy it, or just let me borrow YOURS for a couple of days! :-) Or....come to Memphis and bring your Placette and we'll see first hand!
Good Listening!
