Good day,
Wondering if anyone had compared these three? I am to be in the market for a passive pre, ideally with balanced output and remote for volume and these seem to to be the obvious choices. I realise the Tortuga uses LDR but any direct comparison?
Aside from the features I'm looking for the the obvious detail of passives without any lack of dynamics.
I plan to use with a DDDAC 1794 DAC and only require the single source to Event Opal monitors, I was thinking the likes of the Lightspeed and Stereo Coffee as a stop gap but think, as a remote is important I'll just get my final aim.
I was happily using a Croft 25 for years but in my current set-up I found passive pres my preference, the Croft while good in areas was muddied in comparisonto both an Icon and Tisbury passive which in turn I preferred to nothing compared to an M-DAC which will be replaced by the DDDAC.
With thanks.
