    Default Passive Pre Amp's

    Looking to go the "Passive Pre Amp" route and liking the look of the Icon Audio passive. Any thoughts or recommendations.

    The Icon Audio passive is generally not much liked - I agree, I tried one. It's a kind of drab sound, music with the lustre subtracted.

    There are lots of much better passive preamps around imo.

    The Oracle kills it stone dead, looks wise, imo.
    Fair enough, and I don't dispute your assertion. The Delphi is a beautiful deck and I miss mine. However on a sound basis the AMG Giro destroys a Mk4/5 Delphi, and more than likely a Mk6. Its also cheaper than a Mk6, comes with arm ,though on looks, the Delphi wins.

    Oracle's have emotion in spades, very engaging decks and fluid sounding decks, if you a full on detail freak then maybe an SME or TAS is for you.
    Nice to see a MKI/II in action Geoff
