Alberto, Sorry for the late reply on this question. Back in the mid-1980s I had a PS Audio IV preamp that had an active/passive switch. I felt the tone from the active transistorized section sounded too bright and unlistenable with my system (IRS 2 speakers and Hafler P3000 power amp), but the passive section really sounded quite good--rounded and warm--so I always listened with the preamp in the passive mode.
But in those days it was mainly TT that I listened to and enjoyed because digital CDs did not sound quite right in my system and this was the general complaint from other audiophile too.
Again, thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with us here at AA--your posts are enjoyable and interesting reads!
