Hi all.
I'm looking for a nice little passive pre to go with a Quad amp.
Maybe even an LDR or a Tisbury.
Looking at around £80-£150
Let me know if you can help.
Thanks

Hi if you are interested I have an NVA P20 which is currently doing nothing . You are more than welcome to try it out and see what you think . I would suggest it is a good passive pre but not the very best . However it is more than good enough to spotlight the passive sound and quality . After that you can either send it back to me or we can talk about a price it will be below your lowest figure anyway . Drop me a PM if you are interested .
Which Quad amp Jo? They vary in input sensitivity.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
Thanks Andrew... I'll make a note.

The 306 has high input sensitivity, so the volume advance can be a bit abrupt with some passives, although the sensitivity is easily reduced just by changing accessible resistors.
I found the Chinese bargain basement Little Bear passive works very well with the 306. It sounded better than the Tisbury. Only one set of in/outs though.
