    Default Wanted: passive pre-amp ...

    ... preferably with remote control volume! (A bit of an ask, that bit ).

    WHY?
    -- What Have You? -- it took me AGES to figure out that TLA!

    Cash or maybe swaps for some of my lovely vintage amps possible.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    True.
    I've had a Creek. It wasn't bad. Not brilliant, though.

    Another criterion is that, boxswapper as I am, I want one that I haven't had before!

    Remote not essential.

    I don't normally reply to the 'WHY?' phrase but I have a Rotel Michi I could be tempted to let go for the asking.

    Hmm ... that Rotel does look yummy and I do remember it from back in the day.
    Can you post a photo of the remote control handset, please.
    (Only kidding )

    I'll see what else comes along and may drop you a line re: possible swapsies, Josie

    mfa gets my vote , there is a scruffy one on hififorsale but the mrk 2 copper is yummee
    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

    I've had lots of passives including several TVCs.

    To be honest, I'd rather not constrain offers just in case I think "hmm, I'd quite like to try that again!".
