a new preamp that 'should' be available very, very soon from SMc Audio. That would be Steve McCormack's outfit.It's a passive with buffer, and it simply is the most transparent, dynamic, resolute preamp I've heard, passive or active. I have owned/extensively auditioned the likes of EVS ultimate attenuators, resistor-based passive box, Bent TVC, multi $$$$ active SS/tube preamps, and this one from SMc audio will simply be the ONE. And it should come in at a moderate price, as heard through the grapevine..
Does this unit have voltage gain or is it just a 1:1 transformer with a buffer?
