    Hi James

    Yes, there's nothing wrong with that idea.

    The success will depend on the overall gain of the rest of your system. All a passive pre can do is attenuate the signal, so if you need more gain, then your system will not go loud enough.

    Go for it! - I'm still loving mine - I know it seems stupid - I've got £20k+ rrp speakers and a £130 pre-amp. But it is entirely capable of sounding to that level of quality.

    Interesting, so if I've got to lively a volume control a passive could work well for me?

    I guess if your Bushmaster puts out around 2V and your poweramp only needs around 1.2V then you are going to be just fine. If your poweramp needs more than 2V you are proverbially stuffed. I personally think you'd be fine.

    E Mailed Tisbury with my system requirements.....one t amp-temple audio mono blocks based set up with Spendor sp1s and the other valve kel84 mono blocks driving Quad 63s...I don't know what the amp specs are but my current pre is a MF M1HPA active that functions as a single line pre. I only require one input for my MF M1 DAC.I would love to try one in my set up that would allow me to switch outputs to the respective systems without swapping phono leads.
