Passive Preamps? Anyone?

Will kind folks point me in the direction of some really good passive preamps, or really good, small (1-2) input active pre's? I'm thinking about trying a new DAC that does not come with volume control, so, alas, I need a good pre. Thanks!

Pubul57, I'm traveling on business but I can get you George's email address when I get home Wednesday. Go over to DIY.com (do a search with "lightspeed") and read the thread as well. Very interesting stuff. Also, if you'd like to try one out first let me know. I'm not using mine right now and I'm happy to lend it to you.

Higuys,I am the manufacturerof the"Lightspeed Attenuator" in Australia that has been mentioned in these posts. If you need info and pics of the unit you can (PM)from here or email me ( georgehifi at optusnet.com.au ) and supply your email address and I'll send out the info and pics and circuit diagrams to you.
Just to correct the price of the "Lightspeed Attenuator" it is $398usd posted and insured.

George, you were indeed right. Also, I appreciate the fact you went out of your way to build me one with dual volume controls.

I'm picking up these to compare to the Lightspeed as they are comparably priced and I always wanted to hear the Slagle's.

I'll post comparisons when I get around to it.
