    Spirit maybe, but how about sonics? Active is a whole encompasing world of all sorts of amp circuits from minimal to crazy numbers of transistors or valves. Combinations of buffers with passives still implies minimalism.

    Many DIYers seem to prefer sonics of buffer->passive->buffer to keep constant impedence.

    Matter of interest, I visited Steve at hi Fi Hangar in Borden near Guildford a couple of days ago and he's about to start selling his passive pre at a little over £100. A beautifully made thing with a stepped attenuator. Super quality and it worked a treat with his big valve mono blocks into Harbeths with a Sony cd on the front end. Worth checking out if you're looking at Tisburys. But one input only.

    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down
